If you find yourself crying/sad for no gd reason, think about the older version of yourself.
I always find myself particularly sad on my birthday for some reason. If I could take my younger self out on his birthday 5 years ago, I would get a McFlurry and laugh to myself about how odd and funny it is to be sad on your birthday.
Nothing to fix it. Just McFlurry in the park and write in ur tiny sexy sketchbook.
An afternoon iced drink is also so luxury and deserving on a birthday.

hey!
I spent numerous of my birthdays alone, so here's what worked for me
1. make a playlist of your favourite songs. literally every song you ever liked from when you were 10 to now.
2. go to your favourite place, but if you don't have one then just go to a park or a museum. I love people watching while listening to music.
3. book a spa day. that one I haven't tried but sounds fun. spa is better in solitude anyway.
4. eat your favourite food. honestly a game changer lol food is the most amazing thing we as species have created.
5. do something you enjoyed as a kid. painting, blowing bubbles, making sand castles. it makes you feel so good, like you're reconnecting with something that's been asleep deep inside you.
6. if you're not scared to talk to strangers then talk with someone you don't know. at a pub or in a line. could be fun.
happy early birthday!

I’ve come to the ripe age of 22 and it might be the first time I haven’t cried on my birthday. Only half way through but so far kept it casual and have not let any bad thoughts come through. Replying to any kind messages but definitely not sitting and waiting for them. Woke up, went to work, currently drinking an iced chai by myself, meeting a friend later for a quick lunch and that’s about it! a regular mid may sunny day. Go outside. be kind to yourself. take it easyyy

my parents would never buy me one so i buy myself one every year to compensate
other than that i do whatever i feel like that day, which usually ends up with me taking a long walk/wondering round. i dont really tell ppl when its my birthday cause im uncomfortable with the expectation of having to perform/celebrate from both parties so if i do want to spend it with someone ill keep quiet and just enjoy the time with them. i say spend the day doing what makes you happy and see where it takes u

This is the first crossroads into actual intimacy on a date. Don’t even have to say anything. If they’re cute, just look at them and enjoy the hell out of the present moment.
You’re either gonna find that moment together in pheromones and smiles or they’re gonna ask for the check.
Either way is better than telling someone how many sibilings you have
