If you were born in 1999, chances are you’re probably celebrating your 21st birthday in Lockdown. I thought I’d share my experience with it, because it was not as bad as I thought! I got to see some family members from the 6 feet social distancing rule, opened presents as usual, eat really nice food, watch movies, talk to friends online... it was pretty normal except not being able to go on any kind of trip which is what my family love most about celebrating birthdays I think. It’s just an excuse to have a break from the stresses of life, which is pretty much how I feel in lockdown right now.
In terms of the lockdown in general, I’ve had some ups and downs in regards to how I feel about the whole thing. At the beginning I was upset that my second trip to America had been cancelled, and I felt sad about being separated from my friends in such short notice. I was also worried that it was never going to end, and that the worst would happen. After a few weeks, my feelings towards it started to lift. I haven’t been able to create a proper routine just yet, but I figured out lots of things to do that would lift my spirits even more. This includes building upon my blog which I’m now really proud of. Lately I’ve been really loving fashion and exploring the ways of self expression. This has been really fun and who knows, I could probably start a bit of a business! In these recent weeks, my worry and concerning feelings kind of cropped up again, but I’m trying to stay as optimistic as I possibly can.
For my birthday, I received so many lush things. Pandora earrings, more earrings from Kit Heath, chocolates from hotel chocolate, a star named after me and so much more! My sister designed something for me which I’d have to put a picture of because it’s a tough one to explain.
So nevertheless, it was pretty normal, it just didn’t have the “eat out, sleep out” kind of feel to it like it usually does. And no beaches. Easter on the other hand was especially weird because we weren’t able to do the usual tradition either.
