A way to celebrate life but mourning the person you once where. coping with the fact I’ll never be a teenager again even though they where the worst years of my life thus far. life moves on and there will be more to come. but birthdays will always be complicated for me

i’ve done it.
i’ve managed to stress myself out over figuring out how to spend mine this year…
realized how little i know the people that are closest to me at this moment
(been living in a new city for 1yr)
seems like i rather spend it alone than with people i don’t feel that close with…
but i know i will be lonely and !maybe! regret it…?
but perhaps i’ll b happier?
i always get emotional during this time:
when i realize i’m growing and getting older

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 (:

I can’t fathom growing up! My birthday is in a couple days and I feel so old. It has been almost 6 months since moving away from home, and I long to go back. To think that I’ll never live under the same roof as my parents, or my siblings, or my family dog, or will never live in my childhood bedroom ever again is beyond me! I’m really scared to grow up. Why can’t I just stay 6yrs old forever?

This years pride will be a bit more difficult compared to the last couple years but HAPPY PRIDE! Celebrate with the people you love and the people that care for you. this year especially we need to stick together as a community with the rise of homophobia and especially the rise of transphobia. a special reminder that our community is built off the work of the black trans community and the black trans women that have fought for all of our rights. respect one another as that is all we can do right now. happy pride and be safe! <3
