Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever really celebrated my birthday since I started understanding what birthdays even mean. It’s always just been like a normal day for me. Nothing special planned, nothing big happening.

But it’s kind of funny because I actually enjoy celebrating other people’s birthdays. I don’t really know why. I just like seeing them happy, buying small things if I can, or just being part of their day. It feels easier for me to do that for others than to do it for myself.

Maybe part of the reason I don’t really celebrate my own birthday is money. Not always having enough finances kind of makes me stop thinking about big plans for myself. So over time, I just got used to treating my birthday like any other day. No expectations, no pressure.

My next birthday is in November, and to be honest, I haven’t really thought about it at all until now. I don’t have any big plans or ideas. I’ve never really had to plan anything for myself before, so it feels a bit unfamiliar.

But if I’m being real, I wouldn’t mind if someone did something for me. It doesn’t have to be anything expensive or flashy. Even something simple like hanging out, sharing food, or just people remembering me would actually mean a lot. I think I would appreciate that more than anything big.

If I had to choose what I would want, I would d probably just want a peaceful day. No stress, no overthinking. Maybe spend time with a few people I’m close to, eat good food, laugh a bit, and that is it. Something simple but real.

I think I’m slowly learning that birthdays don’t have to be a big deal to everyone. For now, I’m more comfortable celebrating other people than myself, but maybe that will change one day. Who knows. For now, I’m okay with just letting it be a normal day, just with a little bit of warmth if possible.

Thanks for checking on my blog and have a wonderful day
