Each year on my birthday I am forced to do things I don’t want to do so my family can make me pretend to be happy

#also me#did you mean: my life#I mean my mom takes me to Red Lobster and I get a cake and we go shopping#which is all good stuff#but that's ALL I ever want to do#b/c I don't really like my birthday for many reasons#including the fact that I always remember the birthdays of all my friends and acquaintances and make sure I acknowledge them#but the only person who's consistently remembered mine for the past three years has been my (ex now) roommate#even my sister - she always remembers the day but she thought I was turning 21 when I was turning 20#oh and one person I went to high school AND college with and used to have bi-weekly Jon Stewart lunches with#has a birthday exactly 20 days before mine and that was like a thing we found funny in the beginning - and he still couldn't do the math#like when you make a big deal about being a certain coincidental number of days apart and it's been YEARS and it STILL doesn't fckn stick...#like thanks; I can see that it's statistically impossible for anyone in the entire world to remember Dec 30; thanks for teaching me that#now I understand it's just too hard and not important enough#but anyway#every year my sister invites herself and her kids over even though I hate big family things#and they give me stuff I'm not really interested in and then hang around and talk about their own drama for a while#when like....it's the ONE DAY A YEAR that's supposed to be about me? I just wanna do my own thing? go home?#so yeah#personal
