Rec | GETTING OVER UR FEAR OF UR BIRTHDAY

🎂

im 23 as of yesterday <3 i have a huge fear of my birthday because it usually lines up with something bad happening or someone showing their true colors etc. a day that's about You is scary. what if someone forgets or just does not care even if you care about them? anyway i threw a little party yesterday and my friends made me feel so loved … i am feeling very grateful and no longer afraid of this day ! hooray! also enjoy this pin that my friend gave me in a bag full of trinkets and jesus stickers

i love my birthday

one of the most memorable birthdays i have had is a surprise birthday for my 18th or 21st and i absolutely hated it. i appreciated the effort my family went through to do it but it was my literal nightmare. my birthday tradition is to spend it doing whatever i want and not feel bad about it. if that means spending an obscene amount of money on shoes i've been lusting after, heck yeah i'll do it. if that means spending the entire day at the cinemas, you bet i'm there. if that means going out with my friends or travelling, yeah i'm doing it. and sometimes i actually just don't feel like doing anything at all and that is sometimes a vibe too. i think sometimes we are put under pressure to celebrate our birthdays in a certain way with others or throw parties but if that isn't authentic to you or you just don't feel like it, your birthday should be the one day of the year that you can do whatever you want.

it’s supposed to be fun (turning 21)

happy birthday to me! it’s a little hard to believe that i’m 21 now—even though i’ve technically been an adult for three years now, it seems that the reality is only setting in now, and i can feel that clear divide between teenaged-me and newly adult-me. not quite sure what to make of that. birthdays are always bittersweet, and the last two particularly were filled with melancholy—but i can check this one off as a success since i didn’t even cry! i went to the movie theaters and saw nosferatu (and also bought a theater membership because one of my goals for the new year is to go to the movies as much as possible). i had the best matcha latte of my life. i went home, cut the cake (the most delicious triple chocolate cake, by the way), then watched gladiator ii with my family. nothing flashy by any means, but if there’s one thing this year has taught me, is that it’s the simplest things that bring you comfort. i hope 21 is kinder to me. i’m trying my best to keep my hopes low (since it seems the universe is always conspiring against me), so all i can do is wait and see what it brings me. cheers 🥂

birthdays are hard

it’s such a awkward marker of a new year. a weird mix of wanting people to celebrate you, but feeling tired of the obligation to thank everyone that only reaches out once a year. i always find birthdays really hard, and fairly disappointing. my recommendation is to give yourself grace, and do what makes you happy. i know it’s such a generic rec but this past year on the actual day i just took it easy, treated myself to some takeout, and watched a show in bed. a few days after i got together with friends and we went to a restaurant i love but they’d never really wanted to go to. and then we ate homemade cake and watched a movie. sorry if this isn’t a very upbeat response (: <3 happy birthday!! and know random people on the internet are celebrating you (:
