Why You Should Make Everyday Your Birthday

There is something magnificent about the magic energy that swirls around you on your special day. Any day that includes cake and ice cream as a staple and friends lavishly loving you is worth talking about. Your birthday is one day every year that you can count on extra joy flooding in. Even if you hesitate to bump up in age, there is no denying that on our actual birthday it is nice to feel a little more like royalty. Most of us remember what we did for our birthday ten years ago, but we can’t even remember what we did last Friday night. It is no secret that birthday celebrations leave a fantastic feeling flooding through our bones, and for most of us it becomes the most memorable day of each year. The secret sauce in birthdays is pure enchantment because the world toasts to you!

Love, respect, and hugs are given freely, and you are the center of all the existential goodness. But what about the rest of the lonely, bored 364 days of the years? Excluding holidays, most other days we go about life just making it through. We fall into comfort zones and ripple into

boredom. There is a solution to this pouting problem: Make every day your birthday. Let’s take a moment to explain why birthdays rock our worlds.
