Hi, I'm a stranger. One of those strangers that's going to say "happy birthday!" to you. I know how birthdays can be so special for a lot of people, and seems like it does to you. But... if I may say something about your personal life, I really hope you are not mad, or even hate your parents for being that way.
Anyway, I saw your character drawings on Steemartist Discord and was interested to see more of your work, if you plan to post more, that is. Which is why I'm following.
Happy birthday to you~
Thank you, but you're wrong in one thing: I do not care for my birthday. Honestly, I don't want cake or presents, I'm not a party person either. I just grew overly conscious of the date bc everyone I knew was a massive jerk about it.
For over a decade, I was always confronted with the same insensitive questions (and pretty much by the same people). And always had to explain that things just didn't work that way in my house. People made such a big deal of it, ranted about how I should have cake, presents and whatnot, and some explained their own birthday versions and all I wanted was to being left alone.
I just wanted a nice, normal day, instead I always got people making me feel uncomfortable, as a freak and unwanted by my own parents. All this over such stupid thing.
There was one time an ADULT woman harassed me for about two hours, she was so forceful I ended crying and locked myself in a bathroom. I was in fourth grade.
So no, it's not about it representing 'an special day' to me. I just want to avoid feeling utterly misserable. I want a nice, normal day. I want to do something nice for me to cheer me up, since some people are such jerks to me. That's it.
As for my parents... Why would I hate them over this? That'd be dumb. I do hate my father a little, but that's because my mom and I have been wronged by him, consistently and in worse ways thorough the years. As for my mom, I love her, even if she's such an idiot from time to time.
I do plan to post more of my work, but as I explained at the begining of this post: my laptop is at the tech and my work wears me out. I've got no means or time as of now, to work properly on my art.
Hope that clears a few things up. :)

Ah, sorry I misunderstood you about the birthday. Even a simple normal day is hard to get sometimes, isn't it? hahah. I get it if someone your age harasses you, but an adult? Harassing a kid? Did she had a bad day, or simply a lovely person like that? Staring at a wall doing nothing would be more productive than harassing a 4th grader xD
About your laptop, I hope it'll be fixed real soon. But it's not like I'm demanding to see your post ASAP lol, and if you can't post much it's okay too. But whenever you're ready to post, I'll be happy to visit if I can still be active :)
Oh, the last bit was mostly my despair talking. I want to draw badly but never have time or I'm just always tired. I'm saving up for an iPad for future birthdays bc I want to draw, even if I'm just slouching on my couch. I want to draw until my eyeballs burn
