Everyone is now asking me what i want for my birthday, there’s this strange pressure that because it’s a milestone birthday, you have to have something lavish, people say “you’re only 50 once you know!” but you’re also only 49 once too! and the truth is, i dont know, i haven’t got the foggiest idea of what I want.
To be honest id be happy with a couple of bottles of rum, maybe a bottle of red wine, and the obligatory things you’d buy your dad on father’s day, things like socks, pants and some Lynx toiletries!!
It’s just another birthday.
Edit: i was mainly referring to the presents that some people want to buy me, rather than things to actually do. I’m having the usual birthday bash, so don’t go thinking I’ll be moping around the house!!
I hear this, and im in the same mindset, friends of ours have asked if we wanted to go on holiday with them in a couple of months, grab a bit of sunshine aboard before winter sets in, and i cant really justify it (id normally save up over 6 months or so to pay for it), especially what with Christmas soon to follow.
Literally everything is more expensive these days.
I bought oat milk yogurt this week for the first time in a bit, and it’s gone from 5 to 7 dollars a carton. How can anyone justify this? I had to buy a new car and the dog needed expensive surgery earlier this year. I’m grateful for all I have but it sure is hard these days.
