    During my teenage years birthday has become associated with “look how other people have cool parties with friends and you’re alone”, so not caring about birthdays was necessary for survival. But now, in my 20s, after I found someone I love (and they love me!) I am getting into celebrating birthdays again! Sorry if that was 2meirl42meirl4meirl
