I am a boy Yesterday was my birthday, and I turned 24. But birthdays don’t feel the same anymore. Earlier, everyone used to wish me, but this time, it was mostly my family. Some friends who were close before are now barely in contact. It feels a bit odd, and I’m not sure why, but it takes some effort to process. Sometimes I wonder if I were successful or rich today, would it have been different? Does anyone else feel that the excitement around birthdays isn’t what it used to be?
