    Happy belated birthday!!! 🎉🎁Capricorns born close to the holidays can be tricky but the takeaway is that you can be cozy and share the celebration. It can be extra special getting a birthday gift and a Christmas gift…or share treats for the many occasions. I hope you enjoyed your time nonetheless! You can mourn the bad memories and celebrate what makes you happy and hold onto that.

    Hi! I wanted to say that I see and hear you, too. You were chatting today and I typically body double with you as I journal but I had to stop when you said you didn't celebrate your birthday... And then you spoke about Christmas. I want to say I'm so glad you told us.
    I, too, have a highly dysfunctional family that gave me birthday and Christmas trauma. I actually spoke with my mom today about why I wouldn't be celebrating it with her this year. It was hard but good for me. & The birthday thing - I didn't know there was anyone else out there that didn't celebrate like me. People look at me crazy when I don't want to share my birthday or go out or do something big. I'm trying to take these back, if that makes sense. Make my own memories and don't let my parents take this from me. It's hard, but a work in progress.
    So again, I see you and I hear you and I'm so thankful you felt comfortable to share this with us. I'm looking forward to your next video!

      Tysm for commenting this it truly means a lot to me that others can understand and feel comfortable relating or sharing these kinds of experiences with me! I think not celebrating your bday is a hard thing for some to accept or admit. I used to be embarrassed and a bit sad that I didn’t have fun parties or events happening on my bday esp when I see others spend their bdays in such an important way. But I’ve accepted that I chose to not put too much importance in it and that’s okay! Society puts so much pressure on all of us to live a cookie cutter way and if we do anything against the norms, it’s seen as sad or weird. I just want others to know that we’re all individuals with way too much variations in life experience and traumas to be put into cookie cutter expectations. If celebrating your bday isn’t important to you, that’s okay. I like to celebrate my bday everyday if possible lol life is more than just one day of the year. I guess that’s how I want to perceive it.
      TY for watching!! 🩷
