Long distance birthdays always feel a little different.
Not worse. Not always sad. Just quieter in a way that’s difficult to explain.
You wake up knowing the day matters, but something about it feels incomplete. You imagine how it would have looked if you were together. The small things come to mind first — coffee in the morning, a badly wrapped gift, a slow walk somewhere familiar.
