Today is my 20th birthday, and I usually don't cellebrate it, because I have had bad experiences in the past (family anf friends forgetting ect.) but was so excited up untill about an hour ago.
I was going to go out for dinner tonight with my best friend, her bf, my fiancee and a few acqauitances. I hardly ever get to see her because her bf doesn't like her seeing her friends.
Now she has conjunctivitis and she can't come.
I'm so sick of feeling let down on my birthday, even though it's not her fault. So now I'm not doing anything becasue she was the whole reason I wanted to, and now I just feel really lonley.
I don't want to feel sorry for myself, so what do you think I should do to get out of this bad mood. I really want to enjoy my birthday and for once not have a terrible day.

P.S. I know it might not seem like a big deal, but this friend is someone very close to me heart, and birthdays in general are a very emotional time for me. I really want to just get out there and do something!

Here is some advice from an Empty-Nesting Single Retiree who also had a birthday this weekend too ...
WHY do you let OTHERS determine your happiness? Happiness comes from within .. and even if you can't spend the time enjoying your birthday with others .. TAKE YOURSELF out to dinner, take YOURSELF shopping, go somewhere FUN by YOURSELF .. and people watch, buy something you would normally not, and just BE!
There is NO REASON to be depressed at all ... or to feel sorry for yourself!
Hey, my special someone and I are a couple thousand miles apart, but he called me a few times this weekend .. and he made sure I was happy, entertained, and yes, felt quite cherished too.
So what is wrong with calling your friend and SHARING a LAUGH (or two or more!), a light conversation, or any other piece of gossip or other 'info' either!

Call your friend and make another date for a day out with just her and then go ouyt to dinner with your fiance tonight. this way you still go out for your birthday and you still have something to look forward to!
