It’s a quiet, peaceful day, nothing big. And it is my birthday. Of course, once you reached a certain age, birthday was no longer something you care to celebrate. Instead, it reminds you of all those things you’ve missed out in your life. The memories, which you carefully buried somewhere deeply, might claw their way out.
