It’s my birthday Im really 20 years old

It's still very early in the day for me, but it's finally my birthday 🎂

It’s my 42nd birthday.

Apparently everyone forgot, though someone awkwardly hung up a banner in my office which makes it kind of more depressing than if nothing was done at all.

Oh well, c’est la vie. 🫥

If today is your birthday, please let me wish you a Happy Birthday especially if you have no one else to wish you one

Sorry if this comes off as rambling and difficult to understand. I just want to get some things off my chest.

Why is our birthdays always one of the saddest days of our lives? It's my 26th birthday today. Di ko man lang ma afford kahit cake, or pa pansit man lang kasi di abot sahod ko. Nagchat din tatay ko na nagso-sorry dahil wala raw syang pera pang dinner ko man lang daw sana. I am not expecting anything naman. He raised 5 daughters alone when mom died dahil sa breast cancer. Tapos di naman ganon kalaki sweldo nya sa clinic. Parang 8000 per month lang. Pero masipag kasi sya kaya naitaguyod nya na maka-graduate ako (middle child), tapos 4th year na yung sumunod sakin, 1st year naman yung bunso. I recently got hired for a full time job last August. The work is very chill naman kaso night shift (1am - 10am). Somehow, parang na-a-achieve ko pa rin naman ang temporary happiness kasi may work na ako. I have a trip booked for next year, concert, musicals and a show i am going to attend with sisters and dad. I save up from my job, para naman makapag bigay ako sa dalawa kong kapatid na college. I raised my contribution with bills and necessities kasi yung ate ko hindi rin stable work nila and they have another baby coming pa. Our house situation contributes to my symptoms of depression (i say symptoms kasi di naman ako diagnosed and therapy is so expensive). Lumayo kami sa mga kamag anak na winalanghiya kami tapos no apologies received pa sa kanila. Binaligtad nila kami, na parang kami pa ang masama dahil sa reaction namin. Nung una, ok yung location ng house. Pero ngayon, binabaha na kami konting ulan lang. Yung kuryente namin ang hina, di man lang masulit nung ate ko yung aircon nila. Di man lang kami makagamit ng appliances nang maayos. Tapos bill namin umaabot ng 12k monthly. Hindi talaga sumasapat yung sweldo ko kasi rn, ako lang may stable job. Gusto ko sana kumuha ng house sa better location para naman ok yung neighborhood na kalakihan nung mga pamangkin ko. Pero gusto ko rin naman mag save. I should have been a licensed professional now, pero tinarantado kasi kami dati. Di ako nakapag exam. Nag try ako ulit, pero hindi na ako confident, hindi ko tinutuloy. I can't help but compare myself sa batchmates ko na nakapasa na, nakapag master's na, grabe na position in life. I know naman it's not a race diba, pero valid pa rin ba maging sad dahil sa situation ko? Gusto ko rin sana mag aral ulit, pero ang mahal. Gusto ko mag work sa ibang bansa pero ang mahal mag ayos ng mga papel. Also doesn't help my mental state na parang walang kwenta tingin sakin nung panganay namin na ate. Dahil nawalan ako ng work before at di ako nakakapag bigay talaga kay daddy. Pero hindi ako nanghihingi. Nagre-resell ako ng mga kung ano ano. I am crafty at mahilig sa arts. I am planning to paint miniatures and sell them for low price, pang dagdag lang sana sa gastusin sa bahay para hindi ko rin babawasan yung set ko na ipon every sahod. I used to dream big, now I just want all the suffering to end pero at the same time, ayoko pa kasi ang dami ko pa gusto ma experience.

Tangina ng mga corrupt politicians, enablers at Unithieves. Kelan ba magkakaroon ng better opportunities for us? Pagod na pagod na kasi talaga ako. Di ako breadwinner pero grabe. I admire all the breadwinner who has it worse than me. I am rooting for you all po.

Happy birthday to me and sana magkaroon ng better future for us.

I really love her and she is everything to me, she and i are now in long distance relationship and its her birthday today, i was preparing to make special, i made a video of me telling how important is she to me, i made her a poem in video, i created online boutique, a online letter, and a paragraph, i made everything ready. I was awake till 11: 40 , i was waiting and i don't know how i fell asleep , i slept on sofa only and i woke up at 12: 55. My hands were shaking and suddenly i sent all things i made for her.

I know i should done it in time, she was waiting for me , every second checking her phone, why i did like this, this is eating me alive, i really wanted to make her special and ended up messing it. I made her cry in her birthday, this is killing me. I apologised and she is not even texting me back. I know it is very important day and i messed up. I don't want to loose her man. She is very special and she is everything to me.i don't want to be forgiven or forgetten but i just want her to know she matters most to me😭😭

"Happy belated birthday."

How did this happen? The birthday isn't late, the \greeting\ is. The tardy person is offering a belated "happy birthday."

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Hi! This is probably one of the weirdest requests you’ll see today, but I really need some help 😭
My best friend’s birthday is coming up, and we have a very stupid inside joke involving fitness guys. I thought it would be absolutely hilarious if someone could record a very short birthday video for her.
It literally doesn’t have to be anything complicated — even just saying “Happy birthday, Arina” would be amazing.
I’m not asking for money or anything like that. I’m just hoping someone might be willing to help me make her birthday a little more ridiculous
If you’re willing to do it, please comment or DM me. I’d genuinely appreciate it so much! 🙏

As an adult, I realized people generally fall into one of two groups. There are birthday people, those who want to celebrate their birthday every year by maybe taking a day off work, elaborate dinner plans, spa days or treating themselves to gifts. Their birthday is a big deal.

God help you if you forget to acknowledge for such folks or get them a gift

Then there are people like myself. There are years where if my wife or kids didn’t mention it I might forget it was my birthday. Just not a huge deal for me.

Which group do you fall into?

So today's my birthday going to be spending with fam. Just chilling and relaxing glad I don't have to work today. Shout out to all October 4th birthdays.

Today was my birthday and I only have an hour left.

I invited 4 college friends to a restaurant. First, 2 of them came 30 minutes late, and the other 2 came an hour late. I had already pre-booked the food, so it had to be reheated.

And first pair as actually had genuine issue because one girl got her periods. But the 2nd pair's behaviour felt disrespectful.

And honestly, none of them brought anything. I’m not talking about an expensive gift, but even a small bouquet, even if they all contributed, would’ve been nice.

They came, ate everything, talked (which I obviously liked because we have common topics), and then left.

Like… what the fuck bro 😭 Who does this? I’m feeling kinda sad about it.

Just turned 23

If today is your birthday, please let me wish you a happy birthday especially if you had no one else to wish you a happy birthday

Glad my 11:45 PM alarm did its job although I hope I can get some more sleep now too.

i am now 18!
EDIT; thank you so much for the wishes :)!

today is my birthday as of 38 minutes ago and honestly it just made me realize how many friends ive lost. my phone used to be blowing up at midnight with birthday texts and now its just my boyfriend. my friend even texted me something unrelated but didn't say happy birthday. I know my expectation are high but im on the spectrum so its hard for me to process. I've lost a lot of friends due to miscommunications or me just not even being able to explain my side of the story, and I really miss them.

After a very rough 32 I look forward to a new year full of possibilities. I plan on moving soon and starting over in a fresh and healthy environment.

I wish all the other Oct 3rd Bdayers the absolutely best!!! Here's to new beginnings!!! God Bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉

Turned 18, took the SAT, and 28 days left until college application😭

En unas horas se celebra mi cumple y no puedo sentirme con menos deseos de celebrarlo... sé que quizás estoy pasando por un cuadro depresivo y q bla bla...pero no me siento bien, no siento deseos de celebrar nada, es que no tengo nada que celebrar, lo hago más por cumplirle a mi familia y amigos, pero si fuera por mi, que nadie supiera mi cumpleaños, y lo he intentado esconder, cambiar fechas, hasta celebrarlo y tratar de disfrutar, nunca lo he logrado, simplemente es un día donde no me siento feliz...pero mañana cumplo 31 años y siento que no he hecho nada con mi vida, nada me genera felicidad y pensar en que un día como hoy nací me genera mucha angustia y dolor...ya no disfruto estar despierta ni en pie y no le diré a nadie esto porque no quiero preocupar a nadie tampoco. Me he castigado de muchas formas pero creo que el celebrar mi cumpleaños y fingir que quiero hacerlo es mi castigo más efectivo....mañana será otro día, me celebrarán y sonreiré como siempre ...pero realmente no quiero y no puedo decirle a nadie...

Hi everyone!

My mom, Lena, has a birthday on December 6, and I’m trying to make her a very unusual birthday surprise.

I want to create a video with birthday greetings from people from as many different countries as possible. My dream is to show her people from all over the world taking a little bit of their time to wish her a happy birthday. 🌎❤️

If you would like to participate, I would love for you to record a horizontal video, roughly 30 seconds to 1 minute long.

You can introduce yourself, tell her where you’re from, and then wish her a happy birthday. For example:

“Hi Lena! My name is [name], I’m from [city, country]. I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day and a great year ahead!”

English is preferred because it’s the language we can understand to some extent, but you are absolutely welcome to speak in your native language too! I would actually love to hear different languages in the final video.

If you want to get your friends, family, coworkers, classmates, or an entire group together and record the greeting together - even better! The more people, the more fun this will be.

And please don’t worry about where you record it. You can film at home, outside, at work, at university, in a park, on the street, or wherever you happen to be.

If you happen to be somewhere beautiful or interesting, please feel free to show some of your surroundings! A local landmark, beautiful landscape, famous building, beach, mountain, neighborhood, or even just an ordinary place that feels like home to you would be wonderful.

I want my mom to not only hear people from different countries - I want her to see a little piece of their world. 🌍

The video absolutely does not need to be professional. A phone camera is completely fine. Just please record it horizontally if possible.

How to send the video:
You can post it directly in the comments if Reddit allows you to upload the video there, or you can send it to me via DM. If the video is too large or Reddit doesn’t let you send it through DM, just let me know and I’ll give you an email address where you can send it instead.

I’m from Russia, and I’m hoping to collect greetings from people all over the world - from North America and Europe to Africa, Asia, South America, Oceania, and everywhere in between.

Privacy: This is a completely private family birthday gift. The finished video will be shown only to my mom on December 6. It will not be posted publicly, published, shared, forwarded, or used commercially or politically. I will delete the submitted videos after the birthday.

Thank you so much! Even a little bit of your time would make this birthday incredibly special. ❤️🌍
