my birthday
Well today March 29th is my 20th birthday. Although I am excited I have grown to know that I must not have a lot of friends that I thought I had. Year after year I have less people to tell me happy birthday..yes it hurts, I mean I sometimes want to be remembered especially on the day I was brought into the world. I think it is pretty sad when I always remember others birthday but the favor is not returned. It makes me realize who my true friends are. I am not typing this to make it seem like I am the queen and want attention, I just get sad because I am often forgotten. This new life as a mother has nothing to do with this. I always feel let down by people who call me up and tell me lets hang out and go out and we make plans then they call me the last minute while I am getting ready or something and say " I am sorry I can't go" and for some reason they always use the same excuse " I have no money." To me I think, why did they offer to go out in the first place? Even my own family does it. =(

Hello Nicole:
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that no one called to wish you a happy birthday, but don't be upset just remember that when you were born, there was no one there except you and your mother and no one else should matter if they forget. I know it can be dishearting, because I go through the same thing every year also. But, I look at it this way, when someone else says to me you forgot my birthday, I say well you forgot mine also but I celebrated my birthday anyway and had a wonderful time. Don't look at it negatively, just remember you now have someone as they get older will always remember your birthday and you will always have someone to share it with.
Nicole,
ReplyDeleteOMG.......to be 20 again! I am 30+ years past that. I only have a handful of people that still call me for my birthday. All I can say to you is focus on the ones that do remember and do not dwell on the ones that don't. The only thing you will do by thinking about who didn't call is make your day less happy for you. You are a young, beautiful woman and mother. You have so much life to live to ruin it by being hurt because someone was not thoughtful. Just always be thoughtful yourself and keep on smiling. Remember, you can't control what others do or don't do, but you can control how you react.
HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY !!! :)
