Eminem - Going Through Changes

"I know that it feels like we just pissed away our history and just today I looked at your picture, almost hate to say, I miss you, sub-consciously Wish it didn't end this way, but I just had to get away Don't know why, I don't know what else to say, I guess I'm...

I used to be the kind of person who would see someone's birthday on facebook, and jump on the commenting bandwagon. Actually, even for some of my acquaintances, I'd drop an email (or sometimes even a quick text when I was feeling non-stingy.) If I knew about a birthday, I would NOT miss the chance to drop someone a message. I remember in High School, even signing up for a Birthday Calendar, and trying to collect and collate all of my friends' birthdays.

This was before the days of facebook specifically prompting me to leave a birthday message, and so it must have been something that I thought would brighten up the recipient's day. These days, I have become extremely sparing of my birthday wishes, saving them only for people extremely close to me, and even then, sometimes holding back. I used to question my Dad's lack of enthusiasm and complete apathy towards birthdays, and I feel shocked, dismayed and I must admit a little proud that I'm heading in exactly the same direction. Perhaps it is some sort of 'Indian-Uncle-Gene', that I've come of age for and inherited...
