#birthday stress

[wanderingmind867]

Well, today's my birthday. I'm trying not to make a big deal of it, but just...I turn 20. It's my last year of high school. Going to college in the fall terrifies me. I'm constantly stressing out about the passage of time. In a few years, i might be able to look forward to my birthday. But this year, i certainly feel nothing but dread and stress on my birthday. I feel nervous to tag sll of my mutuals to this post, but I feel like I kind of have to. It's sort of the type of post where i feel indebted to, for whatever reason. So i'll just copy and paste this from one of my tag lists.

Edit: It's kind of awkward getting so many well wishes. It's flattering, but I wasn't actually prepared for it all. I had to confess that, because i need people to understand why I might not respond to all the well wishes.

And, well...all my life, my only friends have pretty much just been my family. The only people in real life who wished me happy birthday were my dad, my aunt, and my maternal grandfather. Also, one of my teachers via email. But that's it. Four or Five people, max. This post already has like eight or nine responses. So i'm a little in over my head. But thank you. Everyone who replied, thank you. I'm too shocked and... it's hard to explain, but you know what I mean. I can't offer an adequate response, but i'm thankful nonetheless.

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

Kaeya, despite being a sickly and gentle child, was his own kind of nightmare for Crepus and the other Dawn Winery staff.

See, Diluc is prone to mischief and chaos, dragging along his younger brother and a couple of other children into his plots and messes.

But Kaeya? Kaeya is the type to end up in the most random, and I do mean most random, of places. He would vanish for several hours, only to be found in an unexpected location such as, oh let's say that one time, he was found eating fruit with some friendly hilichurls...IN LIYUE.

He was such a curious soul that would easily get distracted by the wonders of Teyvat, but since he is so silent in both words and movements, whoever is watching over him would lose sight of him just as quickly.

He has caused several search parties in his youth, only for people to find out he was following a seelie to a treasure chest or napping with a young wolf cub in Wolvendom.

Crepus swears that Kaeya and Diluc are competing on who can give him gray hairs the fastest (so far, Diluc is winning, but Kaeya sure is catching up with every scream of panic from a designated babysitter and Diluc)

Today I go back to school. This is going to be a busy/stressful week for me, since I turn 20 this thursday and have a tour of a college with my dad on wednesday. And in the next few weeks, i may also end up going to an in person social skills class thing with my dad (after doing the class online for years). So a lot of stuff feels like it's coming up this week, and it's really kind of stressful. So i'm sort of getting in my own head about going back to school today. I keep thinking of everything coming up soon, and it makes me really nervous. So...wish me luck, i guess. I feel like i'm gonna need it today. sigh...

Meu primeiro Niver sem minha mãe... No meu Niver de 2023 eu estava em sofrimento, agonia e coração partido por causa do internamento hospitalar dela, pois ela estava sofrendo muito e desde então n voltou mais pra casa, de lá mesmo ela partiu... Hj, meu Niver atual 2024 estou angustiada, triste e me sentindo sozinha sem minha mainha!!! Agora que um novo ano se inicia para mim, agradeço a Deus pelo meu aniversário. Obrigada meu Deus por mais um ciclo completo. Mesmo olhando para o passado com tristeza, para o presente com lucidez e para o futuro com muita esperança. Obrigada pelas bênçãos concedidas na minha vida... Senhor, que este próximo ano seja repleto de iluminação, aprendizado e muito mais amadurecimento. Agradeço ao universo por tudo que acontece na minha vida e por ter permitido eu completar mais uma volta ao sol. Espero poder contar com o amor de Deus e da Minha Pessoa Z, para me dá coragem necessária para poder seguir... Que este novo ano seja uma nova oportunidade para seguir na luta, que eu continue iluminando a vida das pessoas que me cercam... Este foi um ano difícil, lutei com garra para superar todas as adversidades. Hoje inicio mais um capítulo da minha vida, foram 365 dias de muita luta, muita garra e muito aprendizado!!! Hoje, no dia do meu aniversário, percebi o quanto amadureci e o quanto ainda tenho para aprender...
