I know it's been a while since I have written one. But the truth is: it takes two days to be reviewed and published and I am sure the same would happen with this one as well. Anyways, I will start the blog. 

It was my birthday two days ago;  and I swear, I wanted to write this blog on my birthday and post but then, I was too tired and exhausted that I couldn't really think of what to write. 

It was my first birthday in a different city where I am currently residing for my goals and also the first birthday I am celebrating all alone, without any human interaction. The only human interaction I had that day was with the food delivery agents and no one else. 

I wasn't sad about not having people to celebrate because it's my birthday and I could still celebrate it in my own way and I did. Ever since my 17th birthday, I always prayed that it should be a normal satisfactory day and not disappointing at least because no one wanted to feel upset on their birthdays at least if not happy or satisfied. So how could this so called disappointments be avoided? By expecting less. And it did work since two years and it worked this year as well. 

It was quite a task to avoid overthinking especially when you are alone and not able to go out because of the lockdown but I did things to keep me engaged and I treated it as any another day. I read a book, I wrote a page, I cleaned the house, I went to the terrace for fresh air and listened to music, I watched a movie and ordered pizza. Even if it was all by myself, I did enjoy my birthday in this lockdown. 

The highlight of this birthday was a cake sent to me by my family which was a surprise. I had no plans of buying a cake as I couldn't finish it alone and thought of ordering a pastry with the pizza but then a yummy cake arrived at the door steps and I was more than happy to accept it. It might sound stupid but I did record myself cutting the cake and singing ‘Happy Birthday to Me.’ I had two-third of the cake and the rest I gave to my neighbours coz' why not. 

This birthday was definitely satisfactory as I did enjoy it all by myself. And it doesn't mean that nobody wished me. I got calls, and messages from my family and friends. I might not have too many people wishing me or putting stories and posts on my birthday and I am okay with that because in a way, it makes you humble and you are approached by people who genuinely want to approach you and not for the sake of it. 

Anyways, that's all for this blog. Thank you so much for reading. I will see you in the next one.
