What do you usually do on your birthday?

These days, I usually keep my birthday fairly low-key. I might have dinner with my family or a few close friends, and sometimes I treat myself to something small, like a book or a nice coffee. I’m not really into big parties, but I do like marking the day in a simple way. When I was younger, birthdays felt much more exciting. My parents would buy me a cake, invite some relatives over, and I would usually get a few presents. I remember feeling really proud when everyone sang happy birthday to me. I do think it’s important to celebrate birthdays, but it doesn’t have to be extravagant. For me, it’s more about feeling appreciated and spending time with people who matter. In my country, children’s birthdays are often treated as very important, but I’d say parents’ birthdays are also meaningful because they give families a chance to show respect and gratitude.
