In under one month it will be my birthday and I'm expecting the norm of it being an awful disappointment. Last year broke free of that which by the way for 20+ years they'd all been bad. A mix of good & bad by way of my boyfriend treating me to a good time. What was bad was out of his control and at one point my own fault. I won't mention here what bad took place beyond his or my control, but I will say the one bad thing I know I'm to blame for. I decided to have a treat from the dessert menu of a restaurant that contained sugar. I had gastro bypass done to me a few years ago, so I think you can guess the result here. Normally my birthdays leave me alone with maybe one or two phone calls made to me. No party. Forget cake unless I want to be sick, with or without sugar. And for presents just a check from my parents. My local friends too busy to have the time for me. When my vacation in March was wrapping up, my boyfriend said he was hoping to get me back to Ohio for this time, but I doubt that's going to happen. We're both normally dirt poor with bad luck. Thoughts to have this not suck come June 12th? For a while every year I cracked on this in art with the streak that went on for 20+ years. One of these cracks: A fave witch reflects my feelings well about the matter: systemcat.deviantart.com/art/Crayola-cake-305277132

That always stinks, especially on your birthday. I'm not exactly a great planner myself, but I'd say think of things you really, really enjoy doing and make time for it. I know this isn't much to offer, but I hope it helps. I hope this year is better.

Man, I know how you feel, System. My birthday this year was also a crap. The reason was probably my fault, since I sent an e-mail asking my family that I wanted a different kind of cake, like a strawberry cake covered with cream or something, instead of those fucking normal cakes with only egg cover in a funny way, but it seemed it turned out that it was offensive for them (talk about no sense of humor of those assholes ), and with that I had no birthday cake, which I think I deserved that. Not to mention that every time I spent time with my family my nephews are always in and they get more attention from them while I feel I'm being treated like trash. Not cool. The only thing that saved my birthday were my friends (I only got with them later but at least it was worth it), you guys here on the forum and DA, the internet and episode 25 "Message Received" from season 2 of Steven Universe. The rest was crap. So my suggestion is if you want to spent a good birthday time just have with the ones you feel more comfortable. And it doesn't have to be a birthday party, just a nice meal or something, having nice conversation and such.

A year ago, my sweet 16 was absolute CRAP. I invited about 10 of my friends, only 2 showed up. My dad also got sick. I would keep it small, and you don't have to have cake if you don't want to. You and your boyfriend could do something, and get dinner.

Today has been just as bad as expected. Nothing to mark it in events. Just routine as normal. Page 97 wouldn't have come out today if I'd had some where to go, or been visited by a local friend. I've spend the day drawing & coloring, hoping my boyfriend would call as promised & my local best friend would at least call since I knew not to expect a visit. Money & gift cards for presents the other day. The money not spent since I can't justify buying what I want. The gift cards so far spent on living needs, nothing that stands out. I really do appreciate the art Phasm & Cortoony have done. Thank you.

I know a way to avoid an awful birthday! Invite some friends over, grab the com, some snacks, beanbags, blankets and chill with them watching netflix or binge watching doctor who, Inspector gadget, Sherlock and Elementary! that always works as a plan B for my family! You can try that!

You're lucky you can do that. My friends are normally too busy to have time for me and also well I don't get along with my family well.
