When is a Birthday not a Birthday

My birthday is suppose to be Saturday. But I am not in a good head space for it right now. So I have decided not to have my birthday on Saturday. I might postpone it until later or just flat out skip it this year and have my next birthday a year from now.

It is very ingrained to be acknowledged for your birthday so I am trying to set it up that it just another day with a few birthday greetings from important people, like my dad.

If people are inclined to give me a birthday greeting or whatever, please hold off. I will announce when I decide to actually have my birthday.

There is no such thing as a Happy Birthday for me right now. I would rather wait to celebrate it than to have good wishes add weight to a bad day. And this birthday is a big one for me. I have been very aware of it for the last 25 years.

  1. I will keep these eyeballs pealed for small Gina-would-love-this-things and perhaps you can celebrate a Mongoose Day in the near future instead?

    I have your birthday in my calendar. It brings me joy because that day brought you here. I will however, not bring it up this year (yet, until told to do so).
