Birthdays

[One More Solo]

Does anyone else totally hate them? Not sure I really want a day long reminder that I’m getting older and so is everyone else. I feel like it gets worse every year.

I was going to start a similar thread to this, asking if anyone's birthdays fall on a weird date? E.g. Christmas Day, Hallowe'en, 9/11 (11th Sep), on a leap day, New Year's Day, Valentine's Day etc.

My birthday is 8th September, and we all know what that means. The day the Queen died.

Never liked my birthday much anyway as 8 is my unlucky number, it's a bit too close to 9/11 and now ofc the above about the Queen. Plus, I don't like the attention. I much prefer Christmas because it's a free-for-all meaning that everyone gets a bit of attention, not just me.

Mine is on 7 July, and my brother's is on 22 May. My other brother's is 15 January so I would avoid making plans in crowded spaces on that date.
