I saw that hot girls cry on their birthday (and I don’t make the rules). But on a serious note: I have found myself really not looking forward to my birthday as I’ve gotten older.
If you feel the same way, you are not alone.
My birthday is a reminder to me of all the friends that are no longer in my life and of how lonely I actually am. This year, the only people that told me happy birthday (before I posted about it on socials and got comments) were a few family members plus two friends.
The same people that texted me, texted my mom and mostly in group chats. Yes, she and I share a birthday.
I have always been the one to plan my own birthday party (outside if my mom when I was a kid). My friends haven’t planned things for me, not even for my 21st. I had to plan and invite them all because I knew if I didn’t do it…no one would. How sad is that?!
This year though, while I still cried, I gave myself permission to be strong enough & love myself enough to celebrate me without feeling like it was sad and lame. Because ultimately, I need to love myself and have finally come to a place where I realize that. And I can celebrate myself better than anyone else can!
So here’s to being an independent woman taking on the next year of her life with herself as her best friend! 🥂
