Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. The only person who drank with me was my elementary school principal, who I happened to run into at a bar where we were the only two people there. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML
Today, it's my 25th birthday and all of the friends who promised they could come had excuses why they couldn't make it. Now I'm at the bar, alone. FML
Today, I turned 21 and had a huge party because I could finally drink legally. Got arrested for public intoxication. FML
Today, I was the designated driver. It was also my birthday party. FML
Today, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I'm now in charge of driving my friends home after they've had an awesome night. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. My parents' gift was a case of non-alcoholic beer, to "prepare" me for when I "turn 21." My parents can't even remember how old I am. FML

I mean during a pandemic it's probably best to not get drunk with friends quite yet. Plus it's hard to remember birthdays of people you don't see regularly. I almost forgot my own father's birthday this last year because I have to constantly self isolate due to my work in healthcare with high risk special needs children. It sucks you weren't able to celebrate and that people forgot, but on the bright side you won't accidentally pass Covid19 on to anyone and vise versa.

Well, if it was a possible planned night out, not exactly a great time to do it. But overall, it's just a drink or three, it's not that big of a deal. More sucks that you were alone. Next time, make concrete plans with the friend/s beforehand and communicate, that way there's less of a chance to forget.

You can make it up later when covid issues aren't a thing.
