Today is my birthday, but nobody has wished me a happy birthday yet, and it’s making me feel incredibly sad. Birthdays are supposed to be a time of joy and celebration, filled with warm messages from friends and family. Instead, I’m feeling overlooked and unimportant. I can’t help but wonder if I’ve done something wrong or if people have simply forgotten about me. Social media notifications and phone calls are eerily silent, adding to my sense of loneliness.
It’s disheartening to think that on a day meant for happiness, I’m left feeling this way. However, I realize it’s important not to let this overshadow the entire day. Birthdays are also a time for self-reflection and self-love. I can use this opportunity to treat myself kindly, do things I enjoy, and remember that my worth isn’t defined by the number of birthday wishes I receive.
