Have you ever felt let down by a birthday? It is more common than you’d think.
Birthdays can stir up more than joy. They can bring up reflection on where we think we ‘should be’ by now, comparison to others, or disappointment when the day doesn’t feel as special as we hoped.
It’s NORMAL to feel this way. This year, it’s okay to hold both truths: gratitude for the life you’ve built and space for the feelings that come up.
