That's why, I tend not to celebrate my birthday on the actual day... I spread it out over the year treating myself here and there and it feels great :-)
Why conform to what others do? My birthday falls at a time of year when most likely winter is at it's peak so the last thing you want to do is go outside!
I usually choose a super sunny day in the summer as the warmth, clear blue skies, fresh air just makes you feel good and when I remember my age, it's the same number as it was on my birthday!
Have an awesome day out, eat good food and treat myself, yes!
It's such an amazing feeling, especially when we're all so busy with work, the days turn into nights and the nights turn into days. The routine is the same. It's easy to forget and take a step to just pause... and think about oneself.
Appreciate who you are, what you've done, what you've achieved and when you smile to yourself after treating yourself that day, it's all worth it.
Doesn't have to be something big everytime, even the smallest things can bring joy.
Little and often is always the best, you'll appreciate it more and the impact will be greater.
Happy early birthday!!! I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to have nothing planned. It sounds like fun. I'd totally go restaurant and bar hopping looking for birthday specials 😂 maybe do some karaoke 😂
I normally just hang out with a few of my friends, watch a movie at the local theater, and chill. Last year I went horseback riding for the first time. Maybe just spend the day doing something out of the ordinary? Take a mini roadtrip to nowhere. Reflect. Do something that makes you feel happy about your life and what you've accomplished. Also happy early birthday!
Not to sound like a loner, but my ideal birthday would be a day of peace where everyone left me alone for a day. I would have the house to myself, and I would turn on my favorite classical music playlist, read on a hammock chair, maybe drink a couple glasses of wine, and watch the black swan while stretching and practicing ballet. For dessert I would eat a slice of red velvet cheese cake. I’m pretty sure this only sounds fun to me but 🤷♀️.
@Desconhecida well mine is in a few days and I have not the slightest idea how it will turn out but still I'm optimistic. Grateful for a restart and to make it better before the next time
@Desconhecida Hey there... Sorry I was away. I just got home and I saw your message... Hope you had a great special day... And of course I can show you some things to cook.
My birthday is coming too. Ideally I would have lunch with my sister and then hang out with my friends. We could go to the movies too. But since we are facing COVID-19 this year, I'm just going to buy a cake and watch a movie with my sister.
Hey there @Desconhecida 😊 I've celebrated my birthday back in late April but wasn't able to do much due to the very strict COVID restrictions here in Australia!
I wish 2020 could be completely erased and we could all start over because it feels like it's been a waste unfortunately!
P. S. I do like your birthday idea. It sounds very chilled and peaceful. Enjoy turning 21 for another year 🤗🎂🎊🎉🎈🎁!!
I would spend my birthday with zero contact to the world, get a picnic going in front of my living room and stay up all night, and enjoy pigging out! And watching all of my favorite shows and movies!! All to my self!
I used to go to a sushi buffet ever birthday but this year we aren’t doing that. Maybe my parents will buy me some raw fish or steak so we can have a dinner party at my home.
Oh if I'M invited it's less likely to be a civilized get together with adults and more likely to be a pants-dropping affair, but it WILL be a party! Happy Birthday!!! ;-P
