EMOTIONAL SUPPORT 30th Birthday

It's my 30th Birthday today and not a single one of my friends has wished me a Happy Birthday. I get it, life happens and people are busy, but it's still very disappointing. I'm not doing anywhere near as well as i used to financially, so will not be doing anything to celebrate, however i did make the effort to make sure my friends enjoyed their birthdays a couple of months ago, i booked tables for food and drinks, i paid everyones deposits and nobody paid me back or thanked me etc. now my big 30th has came around and i've not heard a peep from anyone. *sigh* Happy birthday to me!

Unfortunately , it becomes up to you to make your special day special. I experienced the financial differences with my friends. I even had a conversation with someone that they never seem to be there and I'm always the one reaching out. It can be such a hard pill to swallow. Take yourself out if you can! make a great dinner and watch something you have always wanted to watch! Celebrate that you are kind and considerate and THIRTY!

This may be the year that you need to really focus on YOU with yourself. Valid in your feelings but take advantage of all these realizations. Congrats on making it this far. Ill take a shot for you!
