Got a birthday coming and looking for some happy birthday quotes to cheer you up or looking for one to write on a card for a friend or loved one? Great, because below are a few good quotes for birthdays. Life seems to be weird like that. When we were young, birthdays couldn’t come fast enough but as we got older, they seem to come by a bit too quickly. One minute you’re getting into high school and the next minute you’re having a mid-life crisis.
Whether you enjoy birthdays or dread them, whether you party or lock yourself in your room and cry, just remember, at this very moment, you are the youngest you will ever be again. So enjoy your youth no matter how old you are because you’re only going to get older. At some point down the line, you’ll probably wish you were at the age you are right now.
