Hi everybody! So, my 30th birthday was a huge deal to me. I struggle with complex PTSD and a multitude of chronic illnesses. A few months before my birthday, I almost died and was in the ICU for 2 weeks, which was followed by the worst PTSD I’ve ever experienced. It felt like I was fighting for my life for months. By the time my birthday rolled around, I was significantly better. Making it to 30 felt like a huge accomplishment for me. However, my fiancée at the time (I had to call it off a few months ago and ended our relationship) barely acknowledged my birthday. I got a verbal happy birthday in the morning and that was it. My birthday was a huge, lonely disappointment. It hurt me deeply, and I recently realized I’m still hurting from it and in general have just been having a really rough time lately. Therefore, I’ve decided to celebrate my half birthday (May 1) by myself as if it were my 30th birthday and would really appreciate a card from somebody!! Sparkly, cute (dogs, Disney, Mort from Madagascar), that ugly card you don’t know what to do with, I’ll take anything! I would also really love if you wrote in it the title of your favorite book or a “life pro tip”!
