You're not getting it

[ausare]

After so many times of me reiterating it and trying to make you girls see it, you all are still missing the point.

Celebrating someone's birthday isn't dependent on whether you do it on the actual day of that person's birthday or not. Look at it this way. Is it more enjoyable to have only 2-3 friends turning up for your birthday dinner/celebration or having 5-6 people turning up? Will the fact of having the celebration on the actual day of your birthday make up for the 3 people who won't be able to make it?

Think about it. What makes birthday celebrations awesome? The friends who turn up to spend time with you, no? It's not the presents, the free meal, and certainly not the minor detail of it being the actual day. The important part is being in the company of people who care for you, want to spend time with you, and appreciate that you came to be in the world and cross paths with them.

It's the idea of birthday celebrations that makes it all the more better, the rest are all superficial things, tangible things that make that idea easier to grasp, to give reason to.

Sure, it's your birthday, and it's only right to give you what you want. I hope with all your insistence that you'll be happy celebrating without the 3 people who would have otherwise been able to make it if we all met up on the Saturday before.
