Today is my birthday but I still haven’t received any birthday wishes. I’m really sad about that 😔

Today is my birthday, a day that’s supposed to be filled with excitement, love, and a few sweet messages from those closest to me. But as the hours pass, the notifications on my phone remain absent, and the silence feels louder than usual. No birthday wishes, no surprise calls, just the quiet.

It’s hard not to feel sad about it. Birthdays, for many of us, carry an unspoken hope of being seen, remembered, and celebrated. But when no one reaches out, it stirs a deep sense of loneliness.

I know that life gets busy, and people don’t always remember dates or anniversaries. Still, I can’t help but feel a little down. Birthdays often serve as reminders that we are loved, and when those reminders don’t come, it’s easy to feel overlooked.

But maybe it’s not about the wishes themselves. Maybe it’s about understanding that our worth isn’t defined by who remembers or who doesn’t.
