As another birthday quietly approaching, I found myself face to face with the reality of changing. Especially from the changes of friends to career and mentality, it seems apparent that they are the changes for a better me.
With the upcoming celebration, instead of calling up or meeting people for the invitation, I'm using Facebook. The result hasn't been great, for some reason, those who I thought were 'friends' would just simply click on 'not attending' without a message saying anything else. Frankly, I didn't think it was that big of a deal at first, but then I put myself in their shoe and to someone whom I haven't seen for a long time and they've invited me to their party and I'm not going, I'd definitely at least leave a message about why I can't make it and hopefully catch up soon. But not even those who I call 'really good friends' left anything... it's really quite heartbreaking and saddening to be confronted by the all mighty Facebook.
Despite whatever reason there is, looking back a year ago, things were different, and looking back to all my birthdays, things have always changed. And I have to say, they are changing for the better, not because of my friends aren't my friends anymore but it seems that I'm more opened up with people and hopefully, the parties I have have improved year on year.
I guess we'll just have to see what comes out of this year's and determine if my prediction about improvement has been accurate. Wish me luck!
