Yesterday was my 25th birthday and I had a birthday party for the first time ever . It was suppose to be a small get together with my family and close friends but way more people started to show up cause the people I invited brought other people and even some neighbors came over. It felt so good ,having happy birthday sang to me for the first time ever I wanted to cry . Growing up I never had my birthday celebrated ,I never even had a birthday cake before . As a kid going to other kids birthday parties I always felt bad knowing I never got one from my parents but I was able to do one for myself and I feel great about it and I know my inner child is overjoyed , especially cause it turned out bigger and better than expected . If no one did it for you , do it for yourself.

  5. Awe this is so wholesome! Happy birthday, friend! Wishing you so many more birthdays surrounded by people who bring you happiness and light! 🙂

  6. That’s lit. Happy birthday. The healing always comes when we are patient enough and take the right steps. Stay blessed!

  10. Happy birthday!! I’m so glad you did this for yourself and your inner child got to experience some love on your special day. I turn 25 tomorrow too, and still really struggle with letting others care for me, especially around my birthday. I get the feeling and this post made me tear up. Hope this is just the beginning of more light in your life 🤍

  11. Man I’d probably start crying, I’m a single guy living alone in a foreign country, I haven’t had a birthday in years

  12. That’s amazing, well done. You must have felt so special. I’m 32 and yet to have any party. No hens, baby shower, birthday etc. I have an immense fear that no one will come and for the few that do arrive I will stress about whether people are enjoying themselves or did they come out of pity, then I also struggle dividing myself across the group because I’m always better 1:1. One day I would like someone to take the burden off me and surprise me. It would be so nice to feel loved by a group of non-family.

  13. i’m so happy it was a special day for you!! trust me, i know how hard it is, but times like these are when we realize just how many people really care about us, and it’s a beautiful feeling to just be in a room full of good people having a good time. cheers, and happy birthday!

  14. How wonderful! Glad you finally celebrated. May you have many more to come!

    Happy Belated birthday

  15. That’s great… HBD!!!

    Years ago I deleted my birthday date from Facebook… guess what happened…

  16. I know how that feels. I grew up JW and never got birthdays or holidays at all, so when I left that BS, I went all out and celebrated everything, like a kid😂
