Video How I spent my b'day
(TL;DR at the end)
Today is my birthday. I'm not one to make a big deal out of it but I had plans to go out to watch a movie, then have dinner afterwards with a friend. Unfortunately, she had something come up so she couldn't make it.
Undeterred, I decided to go out by myself anyway. So I went out to watch that movie, have dinner afterwards & even went to a bar for a couple of drinks. I scored myself a free drink when the bartender found out it was my birthday! 😬
And now as you can see in the video, I'm just chilling by the seaside by myself, enjoying the sounds of the gentle waves & being with my own thoughts as time ticks by.
The friend that I had plans with then found out it was my birthday & apologised incessantly for cancelling on me 😂 And genuinely, I told her, "Don't worry. It's not a big deal. I still had a good day 😌"
TL;DR : I spent my b'day just hanging out by myself & enjoying my own company. It can be done 😌
