It should be easier to have a comparatively better birthday but I hope you have a great one!
Comparatively is a very dangerous word to use here. We're talking an event that does include my grandfather literally dying in the middle of my 18th birthday party and (another year) ME almost dying (not hyperbole. I spent my 33rd birthday in the ICU with a 10% chance of survival.)
hugs, happy you survived
life is good ๐ฝ
Shit, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't realise things were so bad. I hope this one's a good one at least
Honesty at this point I just don't want another hot water tank explosion.
Yes, that has happened. At this point I just fucking laugh
What the hell ๐ญ
I'm glad you're still with us. If something shit happens this year, we will have no choice but to move your birthday to a different day.
