You ever feel like you want to be given something without actually having to ask for it. It’s like how people want to get flowers from their partner without having to express it. I know people arent mind readers so we can’t get too upset over small things. I feel that way when it comes to my birthday. I wish my family would want to do something for me. Even just buy me a cake! Over the years I’ve gotten leftover cake from my brother’s birthday because his is a few days before mine. Sometimes I’d have to buy myself a small cake and just sing myself happy birthday. I know it’s pathetic. Small things like that do mean something to me. I know I shouldn’t be ungrateful. You just see all these other people your age have a party thrown for them, getaways, and gifts. I can’t even get my family to buy me a cake and wish me happy birthday. I know there’s more important things going on in the world. Sometimes you just can’t help to want some appreciation. Some acknowledgment in your life that you are important and worthy to celebrate another year.
