Hi. It's January 1st on the new year and why not we start of with something depressing. Woohoo.
My birthday was on 30th December and i had to spend it studying for an exam that, in the end, i screwed up anyway. But, unusually, i am quite okay with that. Shit happens.
What got me a little down was how literally all my friends here didn't know that it was my birthday. Not even a single one.
I am not expecting an all out birthday bash with strippers, a pool, booze and more strippers. I kinda hate big flashy events. All i expected was someone to wish me a happy birthday. That's it. No need for presents, cake and all that jazz.
And i am not even expecting everyone to wish me. Even if one freaking person just wished me something, it would've made my day.
I know, all you people are saying, what's the big deal? Nobody wished you, boo hoo, man the fuck up and stop being a pussy.
That's not the part that drove me insane.
They, my friends, would always greet everyone's, and i mean every fucking one of the guy's birthday with loud screams and the usual chaos. So loud you could hear the screams from a mile away. And...nothing. Not a peep.
That's not the part that made me scratch my scalp off.
One of my closest friend's here, my ex roommate, didn't even know, but i forgive him. But he just had to come in my room on that day and tell me some chicks birthday is tomorrow and i should wish her.
Goodness to fuck, that made me just want to pry my fucking testicles off with a crowbar and impale myself on an obelisk.
I felt like a fucking.... I have no words to describe how i feel.
And today, the 31st, i just shook it off and tried to do the exam that i screw up as well as i could. Then, my other friend found out on Facebook and he wished me a happy belated birthday. Then, cascade of WhatsApp messages came in, even from my dearest roommate.
And i felt like a okayyyy, i am obligated to say something nice. I said thanks and everyone went on their merry way. Even my ex roommate didn't say a word about it outside WhatsApp.
And i felt like i am just here as a piece of nothing. Like i am easily forgotten and passed through just like that.
And a lot of other things has made me feel this way. Tons more. Some that broke me a little too much. And it all just added up to this last straw that broke he camel's back.
I knew they were gonna go out tonight and do something since it was New Years Eve but i felt like i was not a part of the circle i thought i was in. I felt like an outsider that didn't belong.
So i ran and went into hiding, enjoying some alone time. They called but i didn't answer. And came back to my room and locked the door. And just stayed inside, away from people. They knocked on the door, but i made it as though i wasn't there.
I was hurt. But i tried my best not to show it. I played a few games and sooner or later i had to open the door, which i did. They acted like everything is just dandy. Asked me where i was. I said i went out. They made jokes on how i had enjoyed my birthday with a girl and shit like that. I didn't laugh.
No one should ever spend their birthday alone, thinking people don't care about them. Especially by the closest people to them.
I don't know what to feel anymore. I am not angry. All i feel is just an overwhelming feeling of tiredness. I am just tired of it all. I'll pick up the pieces and put it back together again. And the next thing you know, they break it again. They break everything i am. And i just pick it back up again.
I guess that's my birthday present. Happy fucking birthday!
