it’s my birthday today and I can’t help but feel the need to cry every second out of sadness not joy and I’m going out of the country and it’s making me even more sad cause I’ll be away from my boyfriend for a month and I need him

You will be just away from him. You still have him. Remember that. Enjoy the trip for what It's worth and make the most off it. Try to think of the positives of it. The experiences, the changes. Change is what we all need it. A saying i recently discovered struck a cord with me. We cannot heal in the same environment that damaged us. Change is essential. New experiences to bring be joys. It's your birthday. Another year to gain new perspective, meet new people and start to heal. You got this!

For what it’s worth.

It’s mine next week. I’m not planning to celebrate it, mention it, spend time with anyone etc.

It’s just another day like any other day. But the bad thing is we just get older.

So don’t get down about the fact it’s your bday. You can celebrate it when you get back it doesn’t have to be on that day as long as you two spend time when you have time and make a time of it for you if that is how you enjoy to spend your bday.

While you can’t make sure you talk to each other on the day and have a lovely special call, conversation means and can be everything!!

But most of all enjoy you. It’s your day after all. And sounds like your getting away so isn’t that a fun thing in itself.
