On the day I turned 15 years old, I eagerly anticipated the flood of birthday greetings from friends and family. However, to my dismay, the expected wave of messages never arrived. The feeling of disappointment quickly crept in, leaving me wondering if I was undeserving of love and celebration. Nevertheless, upon introspection, I realized that the absence of external recognition did not define my worth or the significance of my special day. Birthdays are more than just a number of well-wishes; they present an opportunity to appreciate the love and joy that reside within oneself and cherish the relationships and moments that truly matter. Despite the few birthday greetings, I am determined to make this year one filled with self-love, growth, and unforgettable memories.
