I think when I was young I used to invite literally everyone I know! And would get let down when people couldn't come or didn't come!
I think as you get older you realise! You're not "friends" with everyone you know!
I spent today with 2 of my school friends and their children and am spending my actual birthday first with my mum then evening with my lovely fiancée. Then Friday with my close circle of friends.
It's chilled and I love it! And most importantly enjoy it! I'm lucky to have friends I've grown up with! And know it :)
I also have a great extended family. Who I really love. They couldn't be more different to my family! Which is small and reserved to say the least! My fiancées family is big, extended, and crazy! But they have the biggest heart of any family I know! I'm lucky to (soon officially!) be a part of them!
So I guess I'm thinking how lucky I am on my birthday this year to be surrounded by genuine family and friends that I choose and want to be around! Cards and presents are lovely! But having the right people is better!
