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, 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.
