I observe mine, but I dont really like celebrating it. I'm uncomfortable with the concept of having a party for/about myself, so I typically keep mostly to myself that day. last year I was out of the city on my birthday, and only saw my bf, and we made pasta at home. not sure what I'm doing this year but probably something equally low-key. recieving a present makes me really uncomfortable if I don't have something to give in return, so that's another ding against birthdays for me

I do enjoy getting older, and having a time to reflect on personal growth+development, but I do more of that at new year's than around my birthday

(btw I've been mostly out of it, so happy birthday to whoever's birthday it is!)
