It's my birthday today (beehaw.org)

Hi all! It's my birthday today, but I'm feeling a bit shitty as I haven't been in a good headspace lately. Got some messages from friends but not really in the mood to do something or see them today. But that's OK I guess, there always comes a time where I'm more in the mood to be social, just a strange situation to be in on your birthday.

I have been enjoying digging through Blue Prince though, so I guess I'll do that tonight with some pizza and maybe a chill podcast.

I've also been reading a bit more lately, currently going through Gate of Ivrel by C.J. Cherryh and A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. These were bought with my first wage (from a small part time job in a supermarket) in a long time. I'm trying to read more woman writers in science fiction, and I'm super impressed with both.

Enjoy your day and look at the small stuff that makes you happy!

Happy birthday! It's okay to not feel like it sometimes. I wish you a very cozy and comfortable day. Enjoy your own company ❤️

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you're having the kind of birthday you want to have today.

Happy birthday, knokelmaatje.

I never celebrate my birthday, I don't think it is important and I don't like to plan ahead or have a lot of people coming over. I don't go to my friends birthdays as well. There are always good moments to celebrate anything, even the most trivial things, even when alone…with a good book.

I hope you get in a better place soon, I can understand how it feels.

Thanks, this really hit home and was genuinely uplifting. You're a nice person.

Happy birthday! Enjoy your you day. And may there be plenty more opportunities to be social and party on your birthday if that's what you want at the time.

@knokelmaat Happy birthday! 🥳 I'm also trying to make the most out of it. Yesterday I just got my salary and I ate a nice juicy burger in a restaurant I planned to go to for a long time. Was delicious!

Happy birthday friend! Sorry to hear you've been feeling shitty, but enjoy this day however you best see fit. It's your day after all :)

Always enjoy seeing you around the community and I ofc thank you for the contributions you make, especially the discussion threads <3

Thanks, I'm always happy to see you too, you're really doing wonders in the gaming community :). I think games is probably what I'm most passionate about and the space you helped create really emphasizes that passion!

It means a lot to hear that :) I love this little community and I'm happy to share it with all you wonderful people ❤️

Happy birthday! I need to read more Le Guin, just added a couple holds for Left Hand of Darkness and Wizard of Earthsea from my library because of you 😄
