23 years on this earth ✨
---
I've always looked forward to my birthday in the hopes that it'll be exciting. I think of it as the only day in the year where I can let myself be selfish. But usually, that's not the case. People tend to forget my birthday (not sure why lol?) and I've gradually lost some friends along the way (from not keeping in touch and drifting apart), so my birthday has slowly become a lonely affair. I would spend my birthdays at school or work, or by being completely alone all day long, which saddened me a bit.

However, this year I got my very first surprise event, received birthday greetings from the people that matter the most, and today just felt nice. It gives me hope for the next year in my life. I might still be alone most of the time, but today felt a little less lonely. Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday; I can't wait to see what 23 has in store. 💙

I wrote a post about how it feels to be another year older and where I'm currently at along with a moody photoshoot; link in bio !
