a humbling birthday present

Is there anything more humbling than dressing up for your birthday and making a cute little birthday thirst trap? Which, mind you, I never do. Okay? I'm not a thirst trap creator. I don't use my looks because, quite frankly, I don't have it all that. I'm confident, but I'm also realistic. I thought, let me make a cute little TikTok, which I did have to go to extreme lengths to do. I was on a birthday trip. I was in Bayan Bay, and I spent the day in Bayan Bay was beautiful. I got dressed in the car, in public, street parking, people walking past. I'm getting nude in the car, tits out, you've got boobs too, right? I'm getting into this electric blue outfit that I thrifted the day before, curated for my birthday. I slipped that little number on. I'm on the side of the street hobbling in my brown vintage heels, you know what it's like, dry rot and everything. Size too small for me. I was like, you know what, I'll wear it. I find a cute little corner in Bayan Bay. I'm like, okay, the light's good. It's hitting my face, it's golden. And I make a TikTok. And I'm like, then do 24-day. Happy birthday to me. How many people watched it? No one. No one watched it. And I had to swallow that pride on the night of my birthday, mind you. What a birthday gift to me. I had to swallow my pride and go, okay. This is why I don't do thirst traps.
