hope you enjoy your 15th birthday @Past User <3 

“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Don't think cake travels well in the post @Past User. ;)

    Thank you all. You made my day better, I really appreciate it :)

    It hasn't been too bad so far given how low things have been. I went biking with my dad in the end. My gran made me a cake and she, my dad and my mom all sang me Happy Birthday. I just wish I was able to enjoy myself but at least it hasn't been spent crying.

    And something to make you laugh: my mom bought me two helium balloons and I went outside with them, when we noticed one went missing. I looked up at the mountains and there it was floating away :joy:

    That's actually quite impressive! I guess as long as it's in something sturdy it's probably okay. My mum tried to post flapjacks and Flumps once and the mailman lobbed them over the fence, the package split and insects got inside and had a field day. It was pretty grim...

    The pressure to enjoy your birthday can be pretty sucky @Past User, so I can empathise with the frustration around not being able to do that. Know that it's not your fault if you feel like you can't live up to expectations. They're very arbitrary anyway... birthdays are just another day. :)

    This was really amusing for some reason. Just the image of the mailman lobbing them over the fence ;)

    Yeah, I was thinking that - your birthday is only any ordinary day when you think of it. It just sucks when you never feel the pleasure in things even though you want to. But now I'm 15 I've decided I'm going to make a move on with my life. I'm going to try therapy or medication to try and get the enthusiasm back :)
