These days, I don't do a lot of fancy stuff on my birthday. I just hang out with my husband because, as I grow up, the number of friends I have has reduced. So I don't have a lot of people to invite. Also, I'm very busy because of my job. This is why I just do something very limited, like watching TV while eating some snacks and cake with my husband.

How do you normally celebrate your birthday now?

I don’t throw parties at my birthday anymore. The only thing that I do is bring a cake, celebrate it with my husband and sometimes with my close friends only. I have changed a lot recently and I became an introvert. This is why I don’t like big parties anymore.
