You're lying if you say you don't love your birthday because who doesn't like their birthday. The overload of cake alone is enough to give you a reason to at least like your birthday.

1. Cake. Cake. and MORE cake.

Whether it's the cute Instagram picture I'm going to get, blowing out the candles on my birthday cake, or the fact that I get to eat as much of it as I want, the birthday cake ALWAYS comes in handy. Without a doubt, your birthday cake tastes better than any other regular cake during the year. They're just not as special.

2. The paragraphs you get from your best friends.

On your birthday, your best friends are there to make the day extra special, and that is why the message they sent you at exactly 12:00 means so much to you. You know how much you love your friends, so hearing how much they love you makes your birthday so much better.

3. The presents, of course.

Who doesn't love opening gifts on any occasion no matter what it is? Big or small, getting presents is always a blast.

4. It's a day dedicated to just you.

People are taking the time out of their day to give you the attention on your birthday. Everyone enjoys a little attention, you know it's true. It's your day, so it's ok to admit it.

5. A full 24 hours of pure happiness.

You get one day of the year to let nothing and no one make you unhappy. This is your day full of laughs, smiles, and bliss.

So, whether your birthday is near or far, just know it's coming sooner than you think. Take this time to get excited and prepare for your next birthday because you know you can't wait.
