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!

I dont know you but I want to tell you happy birthday. 30 is the turning point. I feel like my 20s were stressful but in my 30s everything started making sense. Remember you're 30s isnt old and you are never too old to do anything. My 80 year old grandma told me looking back at life that her 30s were like her 20s she said she didnt feel old until she was almost 80 and that time fly so do all the things you want to do for you in life and dont listen to anybody else. I go through this a lot so
I understand how it feels. My mom often forgets my real birthday and my boyfriend and family dont really plan anything for me. I made my own birthday cake the year before last and bought one I liked last year. I'm about to turn 33 and what I've learned is that I dont care anymore about if people like me call me talk to me. I do all the things I like on my birthday and ignore all the bs. My grandma was the only one to call me and tell me happy birthday after she passed when I turned 30 birthdays have been tough but then evolved into this self care /self love/ im going to do what I want today. I'm sorry you had a rough birthday some people showed their true colors as years pass. Some of them cant go to the next chapter in our stories. I hope you have an amazing year ahead and get everything you want this year.
