On the day of turning 18, it is natural to have expectations and hopes for a joyous celebration. However, it can be disheartening when things don’t go as anticipated. Feeling unhappy and overlooked when no one watches a birthday video or sends birthday wishes can be quite disappointing. It’s important to remember that social interactions and connections can sometimes be unpredictable, and people may have their own reasons for not engaging. Despite the initial disappointment, it’s crucial to find solace in the fact that birthdays are not solely defined by external validation. Cherish the opportunity to reflect on personal growth, set new goals, and find happiness within oneself, knowing that the impact of one’s journey goes beyond the number of views or wishes received. Surrounding oneself with supportive friends and loved ones can also help create meaningful birthday memories, even if the initial expectations were not met.
