Happy Birthday, Zestyclose-Ad5966!
First off, I want to say this: your feelings are completely valid. You’re not an asshole for wanting to be heard—especially on your day. You’ve been carrying a quiet kind of strength for a long time, and I hope you give yourself credit for that.
It’s hard when traditions no longer feel like celebrations, and even harder when the people closest to us don’t seem to notice or adjust. Wanting something different—something you enjoy—doesn’t make you selfish. It makes you human. Wanting to feel seen and valued is not too much to ask for.
Today, even if things don’t change just yet, I hope you can carve out a piece of the day for you—something small, comforting, or meaningful. You deserve a birthday that reflects you, not just a recycled tradition that no longer brings joy.
Here’s to 26 years of making it through, and to finding more moments where you feel understood. You’re not alone.
