it’s my birthday - why do i hate it? i just despise the attention. i grew up with severe depression and i never thought id see 16, let alone 19. i feel so lost, but people keep celebrating around me.

your birthday doesnt have to be celebrating yourself if you dont want it to! ive always just used it as a day to hang out with people rather than an omg me! kinda day. it used to feel weird to me bc it felt like there was this expectation of excitement around birthdays, so you either gotta join in and hype yourself up, or change what birthdays mean to you/their expections in your head

i’m about to turn 20 in 2 weeks, and i’m in the same boat. i don’t have anyone to celebrate with and i didn’t think id make it past 16, so im pretty lost like you. but i hope you have an amazing day, and i hope your day turns around. here’s a picture of my cat as a gift 🫶
