On my birthday morning, I’m ready, but they aren’t yet.
From the start of my birthday, I find myself wondering how far my partner and I will go together.
Scenes
- It’s my birthday, but I don’t know how far we’ll go together. — The moment I wake up, I start thinking about my birthday plans. I want to feel closer, but I don’t know what they have in mind.
- I think of plans before the celebration. — Sitting at the table and looking at the cake, I start thinking about what I want to do with them today.
- I’m afraid sharing what I want will sound like pressure. — If I say what I want us to do together, I worry it’ll sound like I’m rushing them, so I just wait for birthday wishes.
- You can’t know the pace until you talk about it. — One person being ahead doesn’t decide where the relationship is headed. You may want different timing and different things.
- Write down just one thing you want today. — Write down just one thing you’d like to do together tonight. While you wait for a reply, your own wish may become clearer.
- Sometimes it’s a day to ask about each other’s pace. — It’s okay to realize on your birthday morning that you want different things. You can start by sharing what you want today.
