all you need is some nostalgic decorations, some crowd-pleaser food, and a good cake. i don’t wanna go to something with a balloon arch photo backdrop ever again.

I have so many of these because I hoard my favorite moments like a dragon. But I've limited myself to one.
This is a disposable camera photo of the first birthday party / dinner party I threw myself in college. My roommate, two of my friends, and my cousin all came early to help me set up and finish cooking things. Whirling around getting dressed and setting up with that small group was so fun. And of course the party itself was a delight although I think my social battery died a little too quick after spending most the day prepping. But even then it was still nice to be surrounded by people who wanted to come to my birthday party and all the food me and my friends made. I was very proud of it.
I don't usually do anything big for my birthday because I like spending it just doing little fun things for myself I've been meaning to do like trying a new place or buying a limited edition ice cream flavor or something. And things like this can be a lot of time and energy. But I like getting friends together and so I went for it that year.
I also had to wait so long for these photos to come back because I had to use up the film roll first. And then CVS said they could only give us the photos on CD and I didn't want to hunt down a CD reader on campus so I mailed it out to a company that emailed me the photos. So by the time I had the rolls developed it was already kind of a nice throwback with photos from that night that I had never seen before.

🎁this is the best example of “less is more” in action. lengthen this period of celebration by orchestrating a few different small group events, it allows you to focus more of your time and energy on the people you’re with rather than trying to spread yourself thin between everyone you know being in the same place all at once. the pressure of wanting things to go right on this one special evening is lessened, bc you know you’re going to have more opportunities. allows for diversity of vibe (i can do dinner AND a picnic AND a bar hang!!) less overwhelming and more funnnnnn

🖼Very played out and cliché thing to say. If you could paint that then why haven’t you?? You don’t have to like the art, just come up with a real critique

🧚Body glitter, hair glitter, glitter eyeshadow, leave ‘em all on. sleep in ‘em, it’ll heal you
