It was my birthday and I cried because I was made to.
Even with no expectations, I was let down. The inevitable "I don't care if you want nothing, I'm calling you for your birthday and I'm coming by that night" from many empty promise makers. The text messages from the 2 people who remembered me on my birthday. Text messages are not for birthday greetings, condolences, or bad news. You may as well just add a p.s. to your message that says "I'm too self absorbed to take the moment in my busy day to make a 40 second phone call to well wish on your day, so please accept this preset text as a token of how much you mean to me and my life."
And the loneliness.. Oh, the loneliness! Spending my whole day while I waited for my husband to get off work (I asked him to work, we need the hours) shopping and browsing so alone I would find myself talking to store employees because I knew they had to indulge me
I cried. And I still am crying. Imagine if I were one to have expectations and high hopes on my day.
