I’m going to just say it -Â I’m not a birthday person.
Did I have too many birthday parties as a child?  Absolutely.  Did that trend continue far longer than it needed to?  Most definitely.  Did I, until recently, put far too many expectations on the day only to end up disappointed?  Yes…
Thankfully, my idea of a birthday today is a great dinner with my husband, a small family gathering, and maybe meeting up with friends for drinks or dinner.
Indulgent gifts are appreciated, but not necessary.
Today’s my 3oth birthday. Â I’m spending it with my favorite person in the world, in my favorite city in the world.
No big party. Â No major fuss. Â No unrealistic expectations.
Just one incredible experience.
It’s exactly what I want.
- In honor of fellow Cancerian Mindy Kaling’s recent birthday, MTV rounded up 35 of her most hilarious tweets. Â HBD, Beyonce Pad Thai!
