I’ve had a few good birthdays as an adult, not so much as a child though.

This year was a pretty good birthday despite being majorly annoyed by my friends. But I did get to go to soundcheck + BTS concert, thanks to them.

Two years ago, I went to a high-end omakase at the Ritz with a colleague for a belated birthday. The whole meal was on point.

Four years ago, I went to a steakhouse, Fleming, with my twin on our birthday. We have the same birthday, believe it or not. I have another friend who also shares the same birthday as well, but she wasn’t able to go out with us that night since she had plans with her family.

Most of my childhood birthdays were lowkey like the family eating at McDonald’s or Burger King, except when I as in fifth grade. I lost my retainer that year and my mom punished me by not letting me have a “birthday party” that year. In junior high and high school, my birthdays were like any other day for me and my family so we never really celebrated it. I would get a card from my parents and we’d go on with our day.

    If I have a grand birthday, I would feel awkward indeed😁 Coz all of my birthday is always simple and small gathering, and now that Im adult, that’s my preference, too. I like that tiny cake.

    No song shared today!🤩

    I actually don’t remember when was my best birthday, recent ones sucked . And I do remember a birthday , maybe in 2022 when I was so much excited about it , I don’t remember what happened on my birthday,but the excitement was what made me happy 😁😁, this 2025’s birthday was also great , but yeah had little fights , and cries. These are invincible for me because I am overly sensitive on my bday .

    I had only a couple of birthday parties as a kid. But those kids that came to my parties, a majority were not friends. Otherwise rest of the time, low key.
    And as an adult a normal day like any other. Or just with my mum or a couple of times with a friend.

    My 21st birthday. I’d planned nothing because I was sure my friends had. We did for their 21st birthdays, after all.

    My best friend did nothing.

    It was a wake-up call.

        It opened my eyes.

        It changed who I was.

        I’m stronger for it.

    I get bored of my birthdays. it either ends boringly or with my parents arguing. I celebrate others birthdays more than I want to celebrate mine. birthdayphobia I suppose.
