Birthday
Well ever since I was young birthdays were a big deal. Let's admit every kid is excited for their birthday. You get cake present and see friends and family who doesn't want to do that? Well it all started when I was having my 10th birthday party. I wake up and I start help setting up for my friends to come over for my birthday. I help clean, set up, plan and it about time for my friends to come so I was super excited. Well it finally time and none of them are here yet and I am patiently waiting looking out the window for my friends. About 30 minutes goes by and no one has shown my dad comes up and says “where all your Friends at jonas?” I reply “don't worry they'll be here” but what I didn't know was no one was coming. And hour goes by then 2 hours then 3 hours and no one has shown so very disappointed I just tell my parents I'm ok and fine and I go to my room and just sit there pondering why my friends never came. Well next year definitely will come for sure but then again no one shows and now I am confused upset and mad because I invited people I have friends why isn't people coming. Well I know it isn't the end of the world but it hurt my feelings. Finally 12 years old I'm in sports I have friends no way nobody shows up now. Hour goes by two hours goes by and finally one friend shows up and he ask, “where is everyone?” And I just say, “I don't know”. Him and I had fun but still bug me why no one ever shows up. Now my personality is fun always happy trying to make other people happy so why aren't people coming. Thirteen is when people finally started coming to my parties and it was mainly my close friends and sports buds. So ever since I turned thirteen people started coming and it was all because of getting social and getting into school sports. So the key to having friends and not getting stuck alone like I was. You gotta break out of your shell and just go and talk to people. Because if you never do that you will never be able to enjoy life full experience. If you make only a few friends it will completely change your life. Look at all the benefits for having friends. You can go out to the mall with friends and they will give you company. Friends also will have your back when you get into trouble. You can't live your whole life regretting what you should have done so instead of regretting just live in the moment and enjoy life. I live my life carefree and try to be the fun guy that never stops having fun. I woke up one day and said I'm tired of worrying about anything so instead of worrying I will just have fun and make other people around me have fun also. Friends are great and everyone deserves friends it ridiculous people get bullied and get judge because they're poor or not cool enough to hang with a certain type of people. Think of how silly it is to think your not good enough for that person it crazy to me that people can bully others because of their own self doubt. I can stand kids who act better than others because they can run faster lift more or is just plain better at school. Everyone deserve a chance and shouldn't be judge about their features. So why I told you all this is because you should live your life how you want don't let people hold you back and make you regret your decision. The thing about the birthday is you can't live in a shell to where you can't make friends and you get upset about no one coming to your parties. You need to live your life happy and don't complain because you can't relive your life once it over it over. So that why I don't regret doing anything I am always happy and I think you should be to.
