Birthdays are a time to reflect on your past year and celebrate what amazing things are to come. There's also a lot of pressure that comes with your birthday. It seems as though you need to have amazing plans and tons of friends in order to be seen as having a successful birthday. Maybe it's time to reevaluate how you want to spend your special day.
As I get older, I realize that what I want for my birthday is to spend time with people I love most, even if that means just sitting in my apartment with a couple friends and playing board games. What's even better is spending your birthday alone. Now hear me out. Imagine taking the day off work or from any responsibilities and doing exactly what you want to do. I've taken the day to get a massage or a facial and then binge my favorite TV series with a couple glasses of red wine. Why not turn your birthday into a birthday week and then include friends and family later if they are around.
It's nice to get to a place where your birthday is worth being celebrated, but do what you want, not what other people expect. It's your birthday for a reason and it should be all about you. Whether you're going solo because you're single or going solo just because you feel like spending your birthday alone, it's your decision.
