'Happy Birthday'

Wishing Happy Birthday isn't just about wishing. It's also about sincerity. It's about how much you really want to wish that particular someone. And it doesn't matter if you're wishing through a social platform, a text, an image, or even a phone call. What matters is the content.

And don't always think human beings are fools. Because if you know you aren't, everyone else isn't. What your content truly wants to show can be easily seen through - whether it's truthful or not, whether it's from the bottom of your heart or not, whether it's a genuine wish or a plain "I know it's your birthday so happy birthday".

One day when you look back at all the wishes you will realise who truly made the effort to wish you and who didn't. I believe in finding the right words to wish someone. You can always just type or say "happy birthday". Easy enough. And what the person receives at the other end will just be "happy birthday". And they give you a response - "thank you". If not, what else?

But if you find the right words. You think about how to wish this particular person. How much interaction you have gone through with him or her. It gives you more things to say. A simple sentence like "you have been such a joyful person" or "I love your friendliness every time you say hi to me as we cross each other's paths in school" can mean a lot to the birthday girl/boy.

If you're having your birthday today, you know it's YOUR day. You wanna feel like all the attention's on you. But always remember, it's not just YOUR day. It is, on a high chance, someone else's day too. Every one has different perspectives. But it is up to you to change that perspective. Give more, so you'd find yourself receiving more at the end of the day too.

Happy Birthday isn't just 2 words. You need to add meaning to it. If not, it's just happy and birthday.
