Does
your family put the names of family and friends on
the calendar,
on the day that represents when they
were born? You know, their Birthday? |
We grew up with our names on the calendar. For
so many
years though, my name was in a box
with no number.
Everyone
else had a number in
their box that represented
them. I did not. |
|
|
|
People tease me
about my Leapness, accusing me
of building this
website as a way to ease my suffering
for not
having
a birthday.
It's not like we're
seeking
therapy because our birth date isn't on
the calendar. |
|
|
|
|
And it's not like
we don't "get" a birthday. Of course we do!
It's just not on our birth date. That's all. So there! |
|
|
|
In honor of
those who like to tease us, I decided to give
"it" a name that you think we "suffer"
from.
It's E.B.S. Yes, EBS...Empty
Box Syndrome. In the years that are not Leap Years
our name goes
into a box with no number. Our name can't
go in the box with
the 28, and it can't go in the box that
holds the 1.
That wont work.
Our name goes into an Empty Box.
No number. No 29. No
representation.
|
Nothing.
Just our name in a...
big.... empty..... square....... box.........
(commence breaking down here).
Wipe
the tears and see below. |

I
sure hope you get the humor in all this. Yes, when we are very
young, it is a challenge to understand.
But we grow up and learn what a cool day it is that represents
Balance and Harmony, and it's all good! |
