Is it still a happy birthday if I'm not happy on my birthday?

Hi! I just want to take out a heavy feeling in my chest.

It's my birthday today. And here I am, crying. Yeah, even crying while typing this. Silly and you might say it's not a big deal but it is for me. Because I can't even give myself a gift. Been wanting to buy a tablet with my own money and hoping I might get to buy one today as a gift. Like it's a prize for myself for studying hard and doing all my best to survive college and my course. Been my wanting to buy since last year, before the first semester ended. But yeah, it's now second semester and I'm still short of money.

I'm not really materialistic. But sometimes it hits so hard that even for once, you can't please or spoiled yourself because you're not like any other people who can spend money effortlessly.

It's just sad that I can't even buy myself a gift. And maybe I'm just getting too emotional today. Maybe I'll just sleep it off and wish that the day will past by and soon my birthday is done. Or might review for the quiz tomorrow hahaha

Btw, it's also not just about the tablet. Thoughts are just flooding in my head right now that it makes me so emotional. Different scenarios, unwanted thoughts and such. I just needed to write it down so I won't break down. I'm sorry if this post might be just a waste of time for you to read. But I just wanna bent this heavy feeling on my chest.

I'm happy tho that I still get a chance to celebrate my birthday again. Here's to my 22nd year in Earth! Happy birthday to me! And to all those who have birthday today too!

Just remember that what you're doing NOW is paving the way for your future. I'm sure there's 22 year olds out there who have been handed everything so they can "spend money effortlessly." But it's safe to say there's FAR more eating ramen to make it through school. I know I did. This is a fleeting moment. Try to keep your eye on the prize. And the big upside? When you do get out of school and start to earn a good living, you'll (hopefully) ALWAYS remember the struggles. And that's something that will pay off too. Good luck.

@CTRLx You bet. You've got this. For sure. 👍
Disappointment can be a downer. But don't let it wipe out the good stuff!

The tablet won't know anything about your accomplishments. Congratulate yourself!

One day you WILL be able to buy yourself a tablet. Just not today.

Happy birthday!

P.S. Happiness is not reliant on everything going your way.

In that case, it's more of wishing you a happy birthday even if you may not be happy. Hope today can bring something of a happier turnout for you.

Happy Birthday! (whenever it was) Live your life, wherever you are, at the moment. Enjoy whatever you can, right where you are .... knowing that the when and what will change. It's good to have goals and dreams, but Live Your Life Today where You Are, Time will pass, Things will change, don't dwell on material things, take time for Who and What is important in Your Life, study for the exam.
