The Birthday Post
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!
I may be in my (late) twenties, but I will never not scream about my birthday. I’m counting down since Valentine’s Day. I set that date as the start, because 1. it’s on the 14th so it’s exactly two months til my birthday and 2. people were getting annoyed when I started before Valentine’s day.
I don’t have anything fun planned for today’s post though. I just wanted to catch up a bit, because there’s a lot going on.
For one, it’s my birthday and I can’t really celebrate it. I’m a family person, and not having my family over is killing me. I’m writing this in advance, so it’s actually my birthday tomorrow. My parents will come and wave from behind the window. They’ll also leave the presents (!!!). But that’s about it. I baked myself a cake, because I felt like it. I’ll get breakfast in bed (told my boyfriend he had to take care of that, ha!) and will work for only half the day and make up those hours another day. I’m a bit sad about it, but it’s the safest and healthiest thing to do and that comes first. Always.
New blog design announcement
As you may have seen, I changed the way my blog looks. It’s not exactly what I want it to look like yet, because WordPress is NOT my friend. Seriously, I’m thinking about finally admitting to my boyfriend that I do need to learn how to code and just build this whole thing myself.
Anyway! The amazing designs are made by my sister β€ She’s amazing and does these kind of things for a living. So naturally, I sent her some brownies instead of money and that was payment enough.
Where to go from here?
I’m feeling a little bit out of it. I can’t seem to think of new fun posts to write. I’m way behind on writing reviews. WordPress being annoying. The world on lockdown. Sometimes everything hit at once and you’re just sitting there doing absolutely nothing.
Well, not nothing. I watch a lot of TV. I can’t even seem to focus on books right now.
So I don’t know where to go from here. I do know that the next few days/weeks are not going to be fun for me.
At least I have my birthday cake.

Hey there!
My name is Jas, welcome to my blog. XIV is about my life around my lucky number. You’ll find anything from songs and books to trips and family stuff.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! <3
I like your blog design and I really love your signature on your post. π
I know how you feel about feeling out of it, same here. There's just so much going on in the world that it's hard to really focus on anything. I hope you enjoy your birthday and your cake! I love cake, haha.
Thank you!! <3 The cake was amazing π
Right? It's so hard to focus. And I feel there's also this pressure that 'this is the time to do accomplish something'. It's good to know I'm not the only one, although it sucks to have this feeling haha π
Thank you so much for your comment! π
Happy birthday! I also celebrated my birthday in isolation. I just ate cake and read.
Thank you! As long as there is cake, it’s a pretty okay birthday π
Happy birthday!!! Hope you have a lovely day!
Thank you! π
Lieve Jas, ik geloof dat je binnenkort aan een nieuwe uitdaging begint. Ik hoop dat dat je weer inspiratie en positiviteit oplevert.
Hou vol en ooit kun je weer alle kanten op. Eerst vanavond lekker samen je verjaardag vieren ! Wij doen hier een βborrelβ op je.
Lieve mam,

I really like your blog design and I hope you'll find a little more inspiration and motivation soon. It's hard to find it lately and to really focus, I so get that. I'm always here if you want to chat and take care of yourself! <3 <3
Thank you so much!!! β€ It really is the most important thing haha! I think I’ll just bake one every week, maybe that’ll bring the inspiration and motivation back π
