My birthday

[jaxxon_sunn]

Hello everyone its my birthday today. I don't have friends to do anything with nor my family. I've never celebrated my birthday because my family are all Jehovahs witnesses so I've never had a party or been allowed to go to one, and won't until I move out. I'm 21 now so I can legally drink lol. I've never had alcohol except for when my family pressures me to try some. I don't really like it. Anyways I'm not sure what else to do today its just another day of course. Just wanna say thanks for reading I hope you all have a good day today.

Its also Erik Saties birthday today! Hes one of my favorite composers. His piece gymnopedie no. 1 is very comforting to me and relatable.

Happy birthday to the both of you! I love that song too - you reminded me of it so I'll listen to it in your honor :)
Hope you have an enjoyable day @jaxxon_sunn

Sorry for being so over the top about this ... I feel like such a weird creepy person now.

It is simply that ex-JW's are "my people".
I left in 1981 ... but it formed my life,

I realize maybe you are still really involved with it and are dealing with that ...
Also the point of this apology is that my crazy word paint vid seems so over the top ... I think I would have been a bit freaked out if some 60yo dude made a fuss of me on line ... it does seem creepy . Sorry.

I go on reddit r/exjw , and they have a load of people on there in a similar position to you - young people surrounded by "in" family ... negotiating adulthood after all they have ever known is the dubs.

I'm not a very good advert for a survivor ... but I never addressed any issues until late in life , also awareness of this stuff wasn't so pronounced back in my younger days.

Sorry for creeping you out ...
I have a feeling that you may not realize how destructive your upbringing was.
It's difficult to accept ... I was in denial for years and tried to pretend it just didn't happen and pretended to be "normal".

I've said to much , probably.

Will I apologize for this apology ?

If I'm too toxic , you can always "ignore" me on here ... I ignore a few folks .

In conclusion ... please take seriously the idea that your bad feelings about life are more to do with the high control group and it's crazy organization than YOU as a person.

Birthdays are always just another day for me as well, for me it's just a reminder that I've sadly spent another year trapped here in this cruel world. But anyway I wish you the best.

Birthdays are for mourning, it's a day to treat yourself.
