My friends (who I won't be able to see due to this pandemic) thankfully remembered but my father forgot and when I reminded him he didn't care but when he realised who upset I was he gave me 100 riyals (the equivalent of 25 American dollars). People say u should enjoy ur childhood and that being a kid is great but I'd rather pay my taxes than live in a household of people who couldn't give less of a shit.
      Everyone says being a kid is great and that is not true.....

I think quarantine is the reason I'm worried, bc I haven't gotten to see any of my friends for 2 months so I feel like most of them forgot about me.

    I hate my birthday. I don't hate it to the point where I wish I was just never born, but up to the point in which I hope everyone just forgot about it. For me, it only acts as a reminder. That every so often I need to realize that I'm growing older. And With growing older comes more problems, what career I need to chose, What college I have to go to, what my graduation would look like, how im gonna learn to drive without a father figure, and how it's time to now let go of my dreams.
    I just wish I didn't have to get older now knowing how difficult it really is to try to br independent.

    Just one question! Is it too much to expect that your loved ones remember and wish you on your birthday? I don't want gifts, just wishing me is enough. I sometimes feel they don't care enough about me to remember my birthday. Okay some people are terrible remembering birthdays, but that's what reminders are there for. It's all about how a person matters to you to be remembered. To the people I love, just a small happy birthday is enough to make me smile.
    Btw, today is my birthday!

    ah how i miss those birthdays where i would feel like the most important human on earth, like i could do anything literally, me being the happy little me. Growing up i started to realise how fooled i was by that. Its December 16th, my 15th birthday. The only people congratulating me are the ones gotten a Facebook notification, to remind them. In conclusion, you're special for one day in 365s,it's more depressing to know that during the mean time you're just a human being having no actual point in life. So instead of being happy that im being special at least for once, im depressed because i will continue being the same ghost i have been till now. The day after today will be the day everybody will forget that i even exist and move on, until 365 days later.

    This video really helped me put things into perspective. It’s much easier to get caught up in the failures we see in ourselves than it is to see the accomplishments that we should be proud of. I’m not particularly fond of the fact that I’m turning 21 tomorrow, if only because it’s a milestone birthday and that I don’t feel like I’ve achieved the maturity that I think should could with that age. Therefore, not feeling like I’ll be able to celebrate. But I need to remember that there’s so much that I’ve done and so much that I am to be proud of. If I can set aside at least some time to treat myself, then that would be another accomplishment to add to the list.

    Maybe this is the reason why everytime my birthday is coming.. I am sad.. I Don't know why... I always sad.. I can't explain to my family why i am always sad in my birthday.

      Many of my friends forgot my last birthday too. To be honest, I don’t even care anymore. One gratulated me two weeks later.

    It’s my birthday and I ended up here not knowing why I was feeling the things I was feeling and this put so much into perspective thank you!
