⠀ oh god. it's february. 😟 just kidding, i'm not worried. once you're past 30 it all feels the same for a decade or so. 32nd coming soon! 🎂 ⠀

⠀ five more days and i'm thirty-two years old. oh my god. it's fine, everything's fine, everything is okay. we are okay, all good. (narrator: he was actually not good. far from it.) ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀♣️⠀ notice.⠀ ⠀ for my birthday week, THE CLUB will be serving special items from its lounge menu (available 10pm-4am) during the regular cafe hours, which is 7am to 10pm. promo runs from february 8 to 14. why not treat your valentine here? 🥂🖤 ⠀

📷 — 10th of feb, 2026. ⠀ yes, the boss still goes to work in the morning on his birthday. will say i did not expect my employees to hold me hostage in the morning shift and making me sit down and not do anything while they gave me pizza and sang the dreaded song. do i clap? ⠀

went to work right after reading this btw, ate her (delicious) soup and pretty sure employees definitely took pictures of me ugly crying since my car saw me weep over the journal. so far the best birthday morning ever.

⠀ to my silly older brother, happy birthday. 🙄 you should know how hard it is to shop a gift for you because i know you can afford a lot of things. so i decided to get you the thing you secretly wanted that i know you'd never buy yourself. happy birthday, ily. 😊🎂 ⠀

📷 — 10th of feb, 2026. ⠀ dinner time with my beautiful and wonderful girlfriend, A.. she was very distracting but i managed to get some decent pictures of the steak and the kitchen. also, it's my birthday but almost done. i just focus on her, happy birthday to me. ⠀

february has easily become my favorite month because i get to celebrate two things i absolutely adore: love and you. ❤️✨ happy 1 year and 1 month to us, my love!

⠀ when my birthday (10), mine and my girlfriend's monthsary (11), and valentine's day (14) are all so close that everything blurs together. just calling it love week because it's romance, caring for friends and family, plus self-love (on the 10th) for me. ⠀

⠀ got nervous before dinner asking my girlfriend to be my valentine and i just said "will you be a valentine?" in front of the restaurant. thank god she thinks i'm funny. i asked again later after calming down, so. 💐 (publicly) will you be my valentine? ⠀
