When you're little,every birthday is a big one.But as you grow up,it's O.K.to let them get small.I have mixed feelings about how midlife birthdays,once easily waved at as they passed quietly by,have spun so far out of control,thanks to Facebook alerts and my generation's abiding commitment to our eternal youth.
When my husband asked how I wanted to celebrate my birthday this year — the first anniversary of my 49th birthday,he called it — I was at a loss to answer.No surprises,I said; even our routines already supply plenty of those.No extravagance:we're still in a recession.When I read about Naomi Campbell's $1.8 million party at a seven-star hotel in Dubai ,or the British retail tycoon who marked his 55th by sending his guests a travel wallet with instructions to meet at a London airport and clear their calendar for five days,I'm not impressed; I'm exhausted.I count it as a gift to have reached an age at which I am content to observe the date — or overlook it.
It wasn't always that way.I had to miss my fourth birthday — I had just had eye surgery and was not supposed to hang out with germy little kids — and my sense of justice was so aggrieved that six months later,in the middle of July,I invited all my playground friends over for a party.It would have all come off beautifully,had I not neglected to tell my mother.
To her eternal credit,when a flock of 4½-year-olds descended in the middle of my afternoon nap,she rose to the occasion,conjuring a cake out of her pantry and a celebration out of thin summer air.It's true that for years afterward,she wouldn't let me forget it,that party I'd somehow arranged in the sandbox without permission.Eventually I reminded her of the important part,that when you are 3,going for the entire year without your friends hoisting you up to 4 seems cosmically wrong.
Ten felt very big — those two digits,one so straight and mature,one so round and promising.And 13,which made it official:childhood is memory now; life is PG-13.Sixteen was sweet; 18 was freedom,a launch that in those days could legally include a champagne toast.Your young self hatches again and again between birthdays,so marking them has meaning — a grab for the handrail to steady yourself on a dizzying climb.Turn 14 and grow five inches.Turn 17 and fall in love.
But at some point,that all changes,once time is not sliced into semesters anymore.How different really is 27 from 26,or 42 from 41?The journey curves and loops; your age in years seems to detach from your age in experience.You get fired at 32 and feel 12 again,or you're invited to teach for the first time and feel ancient standing in front of all those wide eyes.You circle back on certain ages,replaying them until you get it right.If the middle-school cafeteria is the setting for your recurring nightmares,you can spend decades as a preteen in your head,refining the snappy comeback that you never mastered at the time.What is a midlife crisis if not an adolescent rebellion with a bigger price tag?And our culture conspires to add to the confusion,now that 50 is the new 40 is the new 30.

当您小时,每个生日是一大一个.但是,当您长大,可以让他们得到小.我怎样的有复杂的感觉关于中年生日,一次容易地挥动在,他们平静地通过了,到目前为止转动了在控制、由于Facebook戒备和我的对我们的永恒青年时期的世代的遵守的承诺外面.
当我的丈夫被问我怎么想今年庆祝我的生日—我的第49个生日第一周年纪念,他称它—我是困惑不解回答.没有惊奇,我说; 甚而我们的惯例已经提供大量那些.没有奢侈：我们仍然是在后退.当我闻悉Naomi坎伯的$1.8百万党在一家七星旅馆在迪拜,or通过送他的客人与指示的一个旅行钱包标记他第55见面在伦敦机场和明白他们的日历五天的英国零售大富翁,我没有被打动; 我被用尽.我计数它,因为礼物到达了我是满意观察日期—或俯视它的年龄.
它总是不是那个方式.我必须错过我的第四个生日我就是有眼睛手术和不应该消磨时间和带有细菌的小孩—一起的—,并且正义我的感觉是,因此悲痛以后六个月,在7月中间,我为党邀请了所有我的操场朋友.它将安排全部美妙地脱去,让我不被忽略告诉我的母亲.
对她的永恒信用,当4 ½岁群在我的下午休息中间下降了,她应付自如,召唤蛋糕在她的餐具室外面和庆祝在稀薄的夏天空气外面.是真实的今后几年,她不会让我忘记它,我在沙盒会莫名其妙地安排,不用允许的那个党.最终我提醒了她重要部分,那,当您是3时,去整个年,不用您的卷扬您的朋友4似乎宇宙错误.
十感觉非常大—那两个数字,一个很平直并且成熟,一个很圆和有为.并且13,做它官员：童年现在是记忆; 生活是PG-13.十六是甜的; 18是自由,可能法律上在那些日子里包括香槟多士的发射.您的年轻人自已再次孵化在生日之间,因此标号他们有意思—扶手栏杆的一场劫掠能稳定自己眩晕的攀登的.轮14和生长五英寸.轮17和坠入爱河.
(问题补充)一旦时间不再,被切成学期,但是,那所有改变.多么不同的真正地是27从26或者42从41 旅途曲线和圈; 您的年龄在几年似乎从您的在经验的年龄分开.您得到射击在32并且再感觉12,或者您被邀请第一次教和感觉在所有那些宽眼睛前面的古老身分.您在某些年龄盘旋,重赛他们,直到您得到它正确.如果中间学校自助食堂是您的循环恶梦的设置,您能度过数十年作为您的头的一青春期前,提炼您当时未曾掌握的清脆的回击.什么是中年危机,如果与更大的价牌的不是青年期叛乱?即然50是新40是新30,并且我们的文化密谋增加到混乱.
