My birthday's coming up (May 27th), and I've decided anything money or purchase related will be rerouted to one of my closest friends Doe's kids (she has twin boys, they're turning 13 I think, and their birthday is the day after mine). I already sent Doe what I could scrounge up myself, and when my bestie offered to get me something for my birthday I asked if he could send her whatever he would've spent on me, so there's that too. 😊 I'm really excited for those boys, I love them so much and I barely get to see them, so I hope they end up with enough spending money to at least have a really great day out and a couple treats along the way. 🥰

As for me, I'm thinking if anyone asks and wants to give *me* something directly, I'll just ask for it to be something that they didn't have to spend money on. I love handmade gifts and getting quiet, quality time with loved ones. I wanna celebrate myself in ways that feel more personal and don't have to empty people's wallets.

I'm also, as always, perfectly okay with no gifts. They're nice, but we (people in general) shouldn't be pressured to get them just because it's someone's birthday, they should be given because we want to and want to show our appreciation in that way. ❤️ Personally, I'm just happy to have survived this far and made it to a place that feels somewhat stable. That's huge for me. Anything more is just bonus. 😊 I'll probably try and draw something I've been meaning to for a while as a little gift to myself. We'll see.

Argh! My bday is tomorrow and we're trying not to freak out. It's general anxiety, but it's like omg I'm gonna be 45 and I'm still single/unemployed/poor.

I'm on the fence of posting my Amazon wishlists because I want gifts and my mom isn't here anymore to splurge on me. 😂 I know it's selfish of me, but I have been so used to getting gifts from her and my older sis (both passed) that I miss the gift giving. The festivity. Nowadays my bday gets a passing glance and a shrug. I feel it's a tragedy, but I cannot put my finger on why....
