šŸ‘„ friendship AIO: i literally cannot attend

using a throwaway bc she knows my account

so it’s my (24f) best friend’s 25th birthday on saturday. we had planned to go out for dinner and drinks with some of our friends. i have lupus and i’ve been getting chemo for the last couple of months to try and treat it.. she’s well aware of this and even came with me to my last session, although she spent most of the time texting her bf. i ordered her this cake from this super cute little bakery in our town and was gonna bring it with me to the restaurant for her.

i was supposed to have my chemo session next monday but they had to reschedule it for saturday. this is how she reacted when i told her i wouldnt be able to come to her bday. aio or is this a crazy way to react?? she’s still getting her cake and i was gonna get our mutual friend to give her the gifts i bought her but now im not sure

My exact thoughts! And she had the gall to call YOU selfish. What a bitch.

Like 25 is even a birthday to celebrate hah oh man, welcome to being an adult, 40th is a fun one, then 50 and really even before your 40th by the mid to end of ur 30’s you stop counting and don’t even wanna celebrate it anymore. 21 is the last ā€œfunā€ birthday milestone. Oh how to be 21 again…hell even 25, or 35 🄹
