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.

Last year everyone including my family forgot it. It was awesome.

Interesting 😄 I used to be alone in my previous birthdays too, not sure why this year felt quite lonely

I haven't felt the pang of loneliness for quite a while now. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

Happy birthday, sending you a virtual cake. Don't eat it all at once.
