I organise my own bdays. I look up a decent place for an afternoon tea or so where we can go do dinner and drinks and maybe some dancing (or karaoke) and I invite one month in advance, we have a girls night. As we get older and we have a friends group, we organise them ourselves but Bday girl is usually free for the night because they split the whole bill between themselves including bday girl so she’s payed for. I also make my own happy birthday to me post and everyone who wants to comment, can comment. Each one of my gfs organise their own bday dinner. If you wanna celebrate, celebrate. If not, don’t. If I know a friends’ bday is coming up and she’s not doing anything or not part of my group and doesn’t have much friends I’ll take her out for dinner separately. Happy birthday btw.
Ok now I'm crying. Idk. The last time I had a party was because I threw it. I was young and stupid and spent well over 1k. In 2008 mind you. Idk. But thanks yall.
I guess just most of my life growing up i wasn't made to feel special. Boyfriends, friends, family nothing. But I would make sure I would show up and show out for others. Idk ugh. I hate feelings. Lol again thanks yall
Growing up, I don’t ever recall ever having a birthday party. I now organize my own birthday but mainly do dinner with family and friends and maybe hit the bar afterwards.
That sounds nice.
Your birthday is a very special day, it was the day you were born and it should always be celebrated, just not on your birthday. Don't be so hard on yourself. Celebrate yourself even if it's just you. ❤️ Happy belated birthday 🎂🎂🎂
Shoot!! If u was in my hometown I would of took you out myself. Happy belated. 🎉
I feel the same way but I make a big deal about others too! I don’t love the attention but I love giving my husband gifts and my son and other family members! I thank for the happy birthdays and my husband always takes me to my fav ice cream spot but growing up with 7 siblings we always got something small on our birthdays but parties were a rarity or just had no want for them
You all are so great telling me stories and such! Thank you also for wishing my birthday well. Just being in my 30s I don't have the drive to want to celebrate myself. I guess it was easy when growing up it wasn't made a big deal of either. Idk either way, im good and hopefully next year's birthday will feel different.
My husband thinks like that too. It’s just another day, another year getting older. He doesn’t make it a big deal out of it. His birthday was on Wednesday and I surprised him at work with a cake, flowers, a card and a gift with our two kids. Because to me, as his wife, I gotta make it/feel special to him regardless his opinion. He’s at the point in his life that all he ask for is love and affection from his loved ones.
