Stories Birthday candles tell us


So, we blow out birthday candles each year; and from one to the other, from one picture to the other, there...It’s hidden all the memories, achievements, losses, peoples, and basically the story of our life in one year. Do we really feel that! ...One year of “growing”, one year of “living”.

Looking at these pictures, I can see my life flashing before my eyes. And all of it looks really simple to me now, although it felt really challenging at its time. Yeah, it’s true, life may not be easy, but it’s simple. It goes by as simply as blowing out a candle each year.

    exactly, life goes very easily and it's speed is relative and depends on us,but have you ever thought to why we blow the candles in birthday and why we don't turn on the candles?

    well,actually, we need to first light them in order to blow ;)...but if you are asking about the reason behind this ritual, apparently it goes back to early Greek. To me,though, you are blowing out the years passed and wish yourself something for the new year :)

    Writing a blog is a fascinating experience. Keep it up !

    About this post: The idea of putting the photos from various years together was very nice. Look at your face; see how your look/smile has changed during these years. It's apparent that you were so sheytoon in the childhood.

    In the one on topright sheytooni az harekaatet peydaast, and in the one on topleft sheytooni dar chehre at nahaan ast. However in the one on topcentre there is no sheytooni but a beautiful calmness.
    This "evolution" is quite interesting!

    Well, I still have that sheytooni and calmness altogether. The thing is, I think, the flow of my evolution isn't quite that clear from these photos :)

    Thanks. Sure; of course I didn't mean "a lot of things" can be deduced from those photos and I didn't want to do any judgments based on them ;-)
