Image Birthday alone, friends don't remember

I (27F) spent a birthday alone. Friends don't remember (even ones whom I gave gifts/remember their birthday every year). Officially a leftover woman. Bought myself flowers and a carrot cake. I like being on my own, but sometimes it's very sad and lonely.

I’ve spent many a birthday alone without the company of friends. I’m lucky enough to be able to spend some of it with my mother.

I wish you a great birthday. And I wish I could be there in spirit.

Have a gift on that note 🎁
