Today is my birthday, but it feels strangely empty. I started the day with hope, expecting messages and greetings, but instead, there’s been only silence. No one has reached out, and the day feels like a reminder of being overlooked.
I keep checking my phone, waiting for a buzz that never comes. Birthdays are meant to be joyful, a time to feel valued, yet today feels like a stark contrast.
In the quiet, I’m reminded that my worth isn’t tied to the number of messages I receive. I try to focus on the simple pleasures and find joy within myself. Today’s silence teaches me that sometimes, celebrating means finding happiness on my own.
