Merry Christmas to everyone!
Today is my birthday. Yep, Christmas day. Some years I dont mind... this year I do. Really depends on my emotional state any given year I guess. So far, both my best friend and significant other have said nothing. No "happy bday" etc. My best friend called earlier and wishes me a merry Christmas, and my significant other sent me a text message of the same. I expect he'll call later. But no mention of birthday. Both talked about it a few days ago, so I know theyre both aware... people just get wrapped up in Christmas and forget. On one level, I get it. I know birthdays are more of "kids holidays" and it's not as big of a deal as an adult. And Christmas certainly IS a bigger deal than a birthday on any day. But I just want the people closest to me not to forget. It hurts a lot more than I guess it should.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday so far. :)
(btw, many of you probably dont recognize me.. this is the first time I've posted in 6mos, maybe even a year. But I've been reading...)
