I hope that Threads continues to be a safe place for me to post about this incredibly challenging time in/part of my life. Today is my birthday and it is a hard one. It feels so “wrong” and spoiled and ungrateful to say this - but I really want the “happy birthday” wishes to stop. It’s only been 2 months since my sister-in-law died and I feel pretty fucked up about celebrating anything right now. I’m not happy today. Sorry I can’t have a happy birthday for you. Not this year. Not right now.
