Happy birthday, Jake! And remember that it will only be what you make of it.
And I think alot of us here can relate to your feelings. I'm actually turning 29 on Friday along with my twin sister. And she's getting married in 3 weeks. So she has a job she sort of likes, a guy she really likes, and is making her own life while I sort of drift along not really accomplishing anything. So it could be worse, Jake.
My sister pretty much is my twin, except she's 1000 times better. She's basically an attractive female version of me and she's popular and everyone loves her. The favorite one of the family.
I'm not extremely fond of my birthdays either. I had many panic attacks leading up to my recent 18th. Thank goodness I stood my ground and did nothing on that day. My family still insisted on taking me out for dinner and stuff...
Aw don't worry Jake! Remember, it's more or less another day. What will be happening?
We should have socialphobiaworld birthday parties. Lol how ironic that would be.
