Lmao I think lemmy.world bans anyone admitting to be under 18 so if admins see this, you'd be banned for a day lol
But anyways, when I was 18... I was kinda in an existential crisis so I kindabinged watched The Good Place... don't remember doing any thing special...
Don't think I got a birthday cake... I mean I didnt even ask for one, cakes arent even that good once you get older and like sweet things are kinda overwhelming for taste buds sort of
I think I might have went to a Chinese restaurant and had dim sum or something. Or maybe like ordered food... forgot what I did... but these things like ordering food are common enough that it didn't exactly feel special (first world problems?) (I think restaurants were kinds closed during covid, so I think we just ordered food, don't think I got a cake since I didn't really care)
Like ever since I got to like... idk 10 or something... I don't remember birthdays becoming that important... it's mostly just like:
mom: "hey, what do you want for your birthday? want a cake?" like just so casual...
then mom be like, "oh btw did you know I had to go through a C-Section to give birth to you, do you feel grateful that I sacrificed so much for you? 🤗" "Also I had to pay a lot of fines for giving birth to you against one child policy"
Oh yeah, elections...
I wasn't old enough for primaries but I was old enough for the 2020 US presidential election and good thing my mom got citizenship so I didn't have to go through that myself so I was already citizen... cuz the naturalization would've taken so long that I'd miss the chance to vote in 2020, so yea good thing I didn't have to spend so much time go through naturalizarion. I voted Biden obviously, dickhead trump literally wants to deport me lol
Had 4 years of relief then this shit happened again FFS 🤦♂️
