eat pasta alone on your birthday... order an espresso martini…. smoke a c*garette or something… maybe just do it all alone for yourself & let it be warm & freeing as it is 🎂

going solo on your birthday

my partner is overseas so i’m embracing spending my birthday alone today and indulging in little luxuries i.e. morning walk to grab my fave iced latte, making a fancy breakfast, getting dressed nice just for me, maybe taking myself out to dinner later. happy birthday to me!

very little

eat smoked salmon pasta and a chocolate zucchini cake in the shape of the age i’m turning, hang out with people i love, watch a movie, go to sleep. i never really had parties when i was a kid, just hanging out with my parents, and now i’m so grateful that i didn’t because the change from parties as a child to no parties as an adult would have been much more difficult and sad.

becoming a birthday person

manifesto forthcoming. i hear time and time again - “i’m not a birthday person.” as a convert, i’m here to challenge that limiting belief. not unlike new year‘s eve, getting your hopes up for a single night is futile. thus, i have the following advice: -embrace birthday week month is a little much, even for me, but allow the week to be birthday-centric. this doesn’t have to be sunday to sunday; it can consist of any of the surrounding days that feel relevant to THE day -multiple experiences much like new year’s eve, hanging your hat on one night is doomed. thus, i recommend that you implement ALL (not some) of the following: INTIMATE DINNER +with partner, family, a couple of friends. something that feels low key and non stressful. great for a thursday or sunday night. let them know ahead of time (if they need reminding) that you would like a candle of some sort on a house dessert (is this too bossy?? NO! you’d do the same for the ones you love. next). (i also get desserts with candles the whole month, unabashedly. and do the same for loved ones.) SOLO DAY +plan things for yourself: solo lunch, matinee, massage. buy a fancy latte. take a cab. spare no expense; today you turn off the switch in your head that wonders if it’s worth it because it is. FRIEND DAY +have people over, meet at a bar, or throw a full on party. this is group time. i honestly recommend doing this one last. you’ll likely have enough fun with the other two events that this will feel like a cherry on top. ask your type A friend to help plan, if you need help, and remind them again ab some sort of treat w canes. this doesn’t have to be a blowout! tell everyone to bring whomever, +1s, enemies as it’s more-the-merrier vibes. tl;dr everyone deserves to be celebrated and there are people in your life eager to help you make it happen. ask for what you want. do the same for them down the line ❤️ ps my birthday is 3/17 if you need to start preparing pps bonus tip - pic is of last year’s birthday outfit. i also like to throw a very easy mini theme to get people thinking ahead of time (i said to wear silk, leather, or mesh. everybody looked hot) ppps i have so much more to say ab this, lmk if you want more
