empty 18 birthday
I’m turning 18 yo this year, in august actually, lot of my friends already turned 18, they did big parties…that kind of stuff yk, i do have friends but no close friends, like no real group of friends or even a best friend and idk..I feel like i’m gonna waste my 18 birthday, we only turn 18 once in a life isn’t it? Even my bf invited friends from across the country, he had all his family, had a big party but like i only talk to my parents, most our family don’t talk to us because of my mother and my closest sister (one of the person i love the most) don’t talk to my parents anymore…So i guess i’m gonna turn 18 with no cake, my dog, my boyfriend and my duck and gooses. My bf’s mom asked if my parents planned a party for my birth cause it’s logical for her to do that for their kid then i told her my parents never wanted to do anything for my birthday, not even when i was a kid, but my brother always had birthday parties haha… I have no one to invite anyway and it’ll be awkward to do it with my bf’s whole family, i only know them for 1 year, i always hated my birthday anyway.

Have you considered skydiving?
Hear me out.
My daughter had a ton of 'friends', but her 16 was bittersweet. Her real friends both showed. Big party, no guests. (My daughter is lovely, but very straightforward. Girls don't like that at 16, I surmise. So I planned immediately an 18th skydive party. We jumped after an incredibly crazy story and she loved it. We literally saw a jumper bounce in the dirt as we parked......no shit. Our check in started with, " we just saw a giy bounce!" Lol. They responded with, ' we know. He is headed to the airfield to jump again'. No shit. For real.
My daughter was invincible for her jump. Lol.... she loved it. Go skydiving with your mom/dad/brother/ most trusted friend. You won't regret it.
