I'm 25 today, and to be fair this is a particularly poor birthday. I was just pipped to a job I really, really, really wanted, loads of people have dropped out of coming to my birthday thing and my best friend's boyfriend's mental health is particularly terrible and will likely affect the evening (this is really not his fault, but just feels like another thing conspiring against me!)
Even before all this though, I just find birthdays really hard. They just make me realise what I haven't achieved compared to my peers, and I currently live by myself so it's all just such an anti-climax. Am I being really selfish by not enjoying birthdays any more? Or is this just a part of being an adult? I know it won't always be like this but today it just feels extra hard.
