Today I turn 10 years old, and it’s a bit disappointing not to receive any well-wishes from others. Birthdays are typically a time for happiness, laughter, and the love of our dear ones, but the lack of recognition on this special day feels quite heavy. It’s only natural to long for acknowledgment and approval from those around us, especially on a day dedicated to celebrating our life.
Not receiving acknowledgment makes me feel like I’m being forgotten and not seen by others, causing me to question my worth. Despite this letdown, I realize that my value isn’t based on external validation or the number of birthday greetings I get. Instead, I find comfort in the love and support of those who genuinely care for me, whether it’s through small acts of kindness or quality time spent together. Even if my day doesn’t go as planned, I hold onto the hope that there are brighter moments and meaningful connections ahead, reassuring me that I am appreciated and treasured, even in moments of solitude. 🎂🌟
