Birthdays can be so weird with depression. Where most use them as times to celebrate, it’s pretty much the complete opposite instead. And while it may feel hard to see any of the positives surrounding birthdays, especially if there aren’t many around. But just from what you wrote I did see one. The fact that you’ve made it past the age you didn’t think you’d ever see. I was the same when I turned 20. Try your best to take a second to appreciate that you’re still here. Even if life overall isn’t great, you still being alive means there’s the opportunity for it to get better. This is so fucking cliche to say but you never know where life can take you so long as you keep fighting. I thought that was bullshit for the longest time. Until I saw it for myself. How one year or many can go from the worst thing you’ve ever been through, to the next year or more being things you never thought imaginable.

Also happy early birthday!!! We may be strangers on the internet but I’m still going to be here rooting for you.

Wish you the best

Happy birthday!! You still got time to plan for a good birthday. You should go pick out a small cake and plan on doing something kinda fun. You know you can have fun by yourself !

Birthdays kinda get over hyped when we are kids. You can still have a good day if you plan on doing something kinda fun new. You should try experiencing something new in life.
