"Have you ever heard about birthday blues?
Yes, as miserable and depressing as it sounds
It's when someone feels sad on their own birthday
And you may wonder, why would anyone feel upset on such a day usually full of outrageous celebrations and sheer happiness
Well.. in some cases, it can be a cruel reminder and a harsh reality check
Some people may feel stuck and as if they were doing nothing with their lives
The arrival of yet another birthday reminds them of how fast time has passed while they were still standing in the same place, the only thing that keeps changing is their age
And with that comes another realization
Their youthful days are passing just like that
And with all the peer pressure and expectations built from childhood of what their twenties should look like
It's only a normal reaction for them to go insane
How unlucky and unfortuante it is, to feel blue on such a day
Some people may even think, as midnight arrives
When will my life ever begin..?
I don't wanna feel blue anymore.. "
Diane finds herself venting to her own diary yet again, trying to ease her sorrow by writing.
What to expect from a 25 year old girl who's spending her birthday all by herself..?
She gets up and brings the birthday cake she bought earlier from the patisserie next door. She then lights up some candles.
She sighs to herself, realizing how miserable her situation is, but at this point, she's used to the pain. It has been nine years after all.
She closes her eyes and makes a wish before quickly blowing off her candles, that's one of the birthday traditions she learnt from her dad.
Even though she doesn't believe doing this will ever change her unfortunate fate, she still tries.
After tasting her cake, she decides to finally go to sleep and leave this night behind.
She shugs some of her sleeping pills as always and slowly drifts off to sleep.
What she doesn't know though, is that her life is about to change and a new journey awaits her.
