A Celebration

Often we celebrate on account of the things we avoid. As a species we avoid self-indulgence, it is treated as an evil, a sin. Every one has at one point completed something "amazing" on the spectrum of what we can achieve, small or large. A kid isn't taught to gloat, he's taught to respect his humility. But it is never appropriate to celebrate. I celebrate, I honor, I remember the accomplishments I have done, not those I haven't. I celebrate the individual and the whole, the community that I'm apart of. I celebrate that that I can look back upon and tell to all I know, that was me, that was what I was. And what I will remember myself as is what I am currently. I celebrate all I am, not what I'm not.
