    My family and friends wish me but apart from that nothing much...... Maybe we go out to eat as a family but the last two birthdays had Covid to account for too.

    I keep forgetting my birthday, just like I keep forgetting everyone else's. :blobexpressionless:
    Luckily, my family never forgets mine. No cakes, presents or parties, tho, just good food, blessings and good wishes. I don't believe in this birthday nonsense; I mean, who would love to celebrate getting older?

    I do now...

    Anyway, this year, my sister made a cake, got presents and stuff, all that jazz. We went on a small shopping spree together earlier that day too. The next day, she took work off and we just watched stupid movies all day had a self-care day, just chilling. Eating snacks and wearing face masks. It was nice. :] And I also got to spend quality time with my favourite sister.

    AND THEN ON THE 14TH I FORGOT HER BIRTHDAY AND FELT SO BAD I WANTED TO HIDE MYSELF AWAY, JESUS.

    I actively avoid it. By tradition, my family would celebrate New Years. Celebrating birthdays are reserved for honoring the really old. My grandfather never celebrated one even though he was in his 80s. Otherwise, it was considered had luck. I'm one of the few who still keeps that tradition, because I had a had stomach ache the one time my mother tried to buck that tradition as a kid.

    I've never celebrated anything as a matter of fact nya~ When I was a child, I was presented with the condition that I could either choose a cake or a toy as my birthday present nya~ I couldn't get the both of them nya~:blob_teary::blob_teary:
    Now my birthday is plainly ignored by my parents nya~:blob_teary::blob_teary: Instead I've to make cakes and other party foods and treat my friends nya~

    Kind of? I mean I get a cake and blow out the candles but that's really it. There are no elaborate celebrations or gifts, just me and my family. Honestly, I don't mind it though, I don't think I could bear other people singing happy birthday to me besides my family, haha.

    when I was a kid, parents hosted parties for my birthday and stuff, but the focus was just on fun : only thing that revolved around me was the cake and candles bit. I don't really like cake or care about my birthday though. I just liked it because it was a day when I could have fun with friends. Every other day was basically scheduled up to the last minute (tiger mom).
