Today marks my 2nd birthday, a milestone often filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt wishes. Yet, instead of celebrating, I find myself feeling sad and forgotten because no one has reached out to wish me a happy birthday. It’s a tough realization that can cloud what should be a joyous occasion. Birthdays are special not just for the cake and presents but for the love and acknowledgment from family and friends. When those we cherish seem to overlook our special day, it can lead to feelings of loneliness and disappointment.
At just two years old, I may not fully understand why no one has called or sent a message, but I can certainly feel the absence of warmth and celebration. This day should be about joy, but the silence makes it hard to embrace that feeling. It’s essential to remember that sometimes people get caught up in their own lives and may not realize how important their words can be. As I navigate this bittersweet moment, I hold on to the hope that my special day will still bring love and happiness, even if it’s delayed. After all, every birthday is a chance to celebrate the joy of being alive.
