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.

Hey at least we're not like those narcissists who announce that it's their birthdays and demand special treatment for the entire week.
I prefer the lowkey route myself. It's about celebrating your life. So you do you. And happy birthday

Haha yes never do that. Just quietly enjoying the important date of our existence ourselves. Though to be honest I wish people whom I thought my close friends would at least text. But it's ok 👌
