Hello,
In a few months, I will be the big 3-0!
People keep asking me what I am doing to mark the occasion but I feel like there is little point. When I was 16 I had a party and some friends and family turned up and for my 18th I had a party at a pub. They were both organised by my mum's then-boyfriend who is now the dad of my two siblings.
If it hadn't been for him I wouldn't have celebrated, and it's due to the past experiences that I am reluctant to celebrate in any way. No one really turned up for my 18th, and after that, I stopped celebrating birthdays because no one wanted to celebrate with me and they have just become another day in my life.
Every birthday I've always said the next one would be different but they never are.
My sister who is twelve said her dad would throw me a party again but I told her there'd be no point because nobody would turn up and the fact I have no friends to speak of makes me not want to bother too.
How do you deal with birthdays? Do you like to celebrate?
