Don’t celebrate them. Just feel them and silently rock out with yourself. If you do celebrate with friends. Put red food dye in your mouth and take a sip of a gin and tonic so it looks like you are bleeding from your gums.

birthdays have been existentially miserable to me for pretty much my entire adult life but for the past couple of years I’ve felt pretty neutral about them. I’m not really doing anything to celebrate today but I’m not despondent either and that feels like a win to me. I think it’s actually okay for it to be just a day but my goal next year turning 30 is to try to care a little more about it and find that happy medium perhaps

it’s such a awkward marker of a new year. a weird mix of wanting people to celebrate you, but feeling tired of the obligation to thank everyone that only reaches out once a year.
i always find birthdays really hard, and fairly disappointing.
my recommendation is to give yourself grace, and do what makes you happy. i know it’s such a generic rec but this past year on the actual day i just took it easy, treated myself to some takeout, and watched a show in bed. a few days after i got together with friends and we went to a restaurant i love but they’d never really wanted to go to. and then we ate homemade cake and watched a movie.
sorry if this isn’t a very upbeat response (: <3
happy birthday!! and know random people on the internet are celebrating you (:
