Well odds are its not necessarily applicable that this is in fact your birthday when it is in fact a day shared with the rest of the population of approximately 7.3 billion people...is it not also their day? Though only a small portion themselves are actually born on this same date.
Those assessed on this their actual date of birth, being unable to appreciate such sentiment, being as afact that they are naturally so recently "removed" from the womb as to still retain the actual self same identity with their mother which is itself an unconfirmed but proper assessment of personality/psychological identity.
Your suggestion that it is YOUR birthday also does not account for the men and women in outer space who do not properly adhere to a solar day calendrical assessment of a day. Is their day somehow applicable to your celebration?
I'd think it less likely.
For even confirming a date of birth, it would seem outright a misuse of the namesake "birth -day" as you may well know, you have only ONE date of birth.
If such a celebration is applied to a date by a purely numeric criteria, does that also mean that it would still be ones birthday even upon one's eventual passing?
What needs to be determined here is in fact the criteria by a standard, for which it can be sufficiently deemed that such a day belongs to someone individually to be celebrated.
Within society- it may be necessary to first petition a governing body for the said confirmation and celebration of such a day. Or perhaps a fragment of said day to be celebrated according to populace sharing that same calendar DATE for the day of their birth.
But what I ask is was it truly YOURS?
I am not certain this could be said without question.

Who do we say "happy belated birthday"? Your birthday wasn't belated - the birthday wishes were. Ergo, it should be a "belated happy birthday" lol. The English language pisses me off sometimes :P
Anyway - belated happy birthday to those I'm belatedly wishing happy birthday to. I hope your birthday was super smashing, however late my belated birthday wishes were.
I think I'm now technically not late in wishing you a happy birthday. I'm (almost) a year early!
