Today is April 20th, yesterday was April 19th. The lunar calendar date of yesterday was March 10th, and my mom said it was my birthday.
On Saturday, when I got home, my mom asked me several times where I was going late at night. I always had something to do. In the afternoon, my mom suddenly said today was my birthday and wanted to order a cake for me. I immediately refused. No matter what my mom said, I told her I didn't need it.
Finally, my mom gave in and said we could eat late at night after I came back. I also said I didn't need it.
I don't want to celebrate my birthday at home.
Thinking back to those years in middle school, I never even remembered my own birthday, but in high school, my family suddenly remembered and wanted to buy me a cake. I feel it's really unnecessary, so I just want this day to pass as a normal one. Also, I feel that accepting this cake is like putting a 'burden' on me, making me feel 'guilty' inside.
My parents have high expectations for me, but I always fail to meet their set goals, disappointing them. After deep 'disappointment,' they suddenly decide to ignore my grades, just wanting me to live a good life, and then continue to 'disappoint' me behind their backs. Eating this cake brings the feeling of 'We've been so good to you, why aren't you studying hard?' I know that very few people in the world would refuse to celebrate their birthday with their family. I also think it's not so good, as this is a piece of their sincerity, and maybe it would hurt them.
