Today is my birthday, but it feels different. The excitement I used to feel on this day is missing. When I looked in the mirror this morning, I didn’t see the beauty I hoped for. My hair is messy, my face feels tired, and no matter what I do, I can’t seem to make myself feel beautiful. To make things worse, no one has wished me a happy birthday. I scrolled through my phone, checking for notifications, but there’s nothing. Not a single message or call. It makes me feel invisible, like today is just another ordinary day for everyone but me. I can’t help but wonder if anyone even remembers. Despite the sadness, I try to remind myself that self-worth doesn’t depend on others’ recognition. Maybe today is an opportunity to celebrate myself, even if no one else does.
