Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, was my birthday. Today was also the day that my mom's cat died four years ago. She was too busy crying and looking at old photos of her beloved cat to even wish me a happy birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. FML
Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
Today, I'm still trying not to cry. Yesterday was by birthday. I got an email from my dad with three words, "Happy Birthday (nickname)". I got a Facebook post from my mother. No card. No phone call. No gift. I have become nothing more than a Facebook friend to my parents. FML
Today, it was my birthday. None of my family members wished me a happy birthday and neither did the 1,000+ "friends" I have on Facebook either. FML
Today, my daughter forgot my birthday. When I asked her, she said she'd remembered my birthday, but was too busy at work to acknowledge it. However, she did have time to post a message on Facebook, wishing a happy birthday to her cat. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend didn't get me a present. He did, however, get me a card from our cat. He signed it "Have a purrrrfect birthday." Then he left to go to work. I was alone all day long. FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only people who wished me a happy birthday were the ones who saw the "birthday boy" poster my sister plastered around school, which included a photo of me as a kid dressed up as a girl. FML
Today, I changed the date of my birthday to today on Facebook to see how many people actually know my birthday. My mom wished me a happy birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I got ONE birthday greeting: from my bank, telling me they were closing my account. FML

Did the kitten say, "Have a purrfect birthday!"? So many cat puns could have been made.

And now you'll get 184 more from random FML users who don't actually give a **** about you but want to look like nice people. Happy ******* birthday.

Is your Birthday listed on Facebook? Do you tell people when your Birthday is? If not - nobody knows it's your Birthday.

This is why I think Facebook is a factor of stress. Expecting something but receiving nothing... Deactivating your account might actually just increase your general satisfaction with life in the long run. Oh and happy birthday and don't be too down! All you can do now is look forward with optimism and not sulk over stupid Facebook! :)
