Didn't even get the Sushi...
🕑 Added 2022-11-16 09:00:00 +0000 UTCLast time, I tried predicting how my birthday would go. Was I right, or totally wrong?
Well...mostly. Like already described in the title, I didn't get to eat Sushi, but I was promised to get it in the future, so there's hope left!
I also didn't get the Hisoka High heels (I'm glad), but instead i got a rice cooker! I'm really happy about that, because I wanted one for a long time.
Most of my family did ignore my birthday, but oh well, they do that 364 days of the year, why not one day more, right? It's not like there's much contact in the first place, so why bother?
My father did oversleep, but maybe that's because I woke up early. There was delicious cake, and this time it was completely lactose free!
Was it a good birthday? Well, it was better than the year before and better than the year before that, and even better than even a year before that year. And maybe even better than...--
What even is a "good" birthday? Some would say it would be if it's a day you can remember, even years later. I'd say it's quite the contrary. If I don't remember it, it couldn't have been a bad one. All things considered, I say it was a good birthday!

前回、自分の誕生日がどうなるかを占ってみました。果たして正解か、それとも大外れか？
まぁ...だいたいは。タイトルにあるように、お寿司は食べられませんでしたが、今後食べる約束をしていたので、希望は残されています。
あと、ヒソカのハイヒールはもらえませんでしたが（嬉しい）、代わりに炊飯器がもらえました！これは本当に嬉しいです。前々から欲しかったので、本当に嬉しいです。
ほとんどの家族は私の誕生日を無視しましたが、まあ、1年のうち364日あるのだから、あと1日くらいはいいじゃないですか？そもそも、そんなに連絡することもないんだし、別にいいじゃん。
父は寝坊しましたが、私が早起きしたからでしょうか。美味しいケーキもあったし、今回は完全乳糖不使用！？
いい誕生日だった？まあ、一昨年よりも、その前の年よりも、さらにその前の年よりも、もっと良かった。そして、もしかしたら......よりも。
いい」誕生日とは何だろう？何年経っても思い出せる日であればいいという人もいるだろう。私はその逆だと思う。覚えていないのなら、悪い誕生日であったはずがない。そう考えると、いい誕生日だったと言えるでしょう

Family is weird. All the same, I hope you're doing well! :D

Oh, I'm completely fine if people treat it like a normal day, it is just a bit depressing when I see other family members get these huge party's with lots of thoughtful gifts and you can see that other people planned maybe months ahead just for this one day. I don't need that either, and I'm already too old for that, but I'm also a big dreamer and can't stop thinking, that maybe I too can someday just have an all around great day. There were years where it was exactly like you described. Forced presents, stale atmosphere, you could sense that it would've just been better if everyone just forgot about that day.
Happy for you! Personally, I don't like making a big deal about my birthday. I don't want to get a gift that someone feels like they were obligated to get and making me special for a day just feels disingenuous. But hey, that's just me. v(-_-)v
