Days of celebration not matter much
I don't take celebrations to be so much worthy if I don't reach my destination. You can have your own life goals and try hard to reach there step by step. No excuses , nothing. I personally feel to become over responsible on a celebration day than a normal day. I can't take life lightly until I reach my goal. May be it can be trivial for you , I won't care . If I am knowing my worth and my work and intention are sincere , no way to step back . I will continue. When you reach your destination , every day will be a celebration for you. Focus on that more.
