Is it sad I won’t be doing anything/much on my 30th birthday?

Happy Sunday.

I’m feeling sad. I turn 30 next mid-month and feeling sad that I don’t really have people to celebrate it with. I’m estranged from family by choice, as of 3 years now, and I don’t have many friends as my friendship group recently broke up.

I originally planned to go away with friends, and told myself I would go whether they could join me or not, and had ideas and plans back in Sept, but things have cropped up since then with life and I also had a health scare, and financially it’s not looking viable right now.

I have someone who’s like an older sister to me and she’ll be doing something with me for it, which is something.

But yeah, tbh I’m just having a moment. I’m kinda mad at myself not booking before when it was more financially feasible, or maybe I just didn’t plan it properly, I don’t know. I also feel like I’m a kind, fun, beautiful person who has had a tough few years and as much as I like my own company, I do enjoy spending time with others and being social. I feel like an island and wonder if I’ll ever meet new people, have new relationships and just feel I’m like wasting if that makes sense.

Anyway, I just wanted to know if others have been in the same situation, and perhaps if anyone has any other suggestions for things to do (maybe a short haul holiday / UK spa break?) - I do have two weeks off, and still hoping I can go somewhere and do something.

Thanks for reading.

Would you consider a solo holiday? There look like some bargains on love holidays…
Or perhaps a housesitting/pet sitting break.(I think there’s a fee to join but the property is free - not sure. There are lots of destinations to choose from.

💐Things will get better.
