Coffee and a Conversation

As Told Over Brunch is a home for intelligent discourse from the twenty-something perspective - so the stuff you gossip about over mimosas on Sunday morning or over takeout on your friend's couch when happy hour ends too early. We love chatting about our lives, whether it be the relationships we’re building (or destroying), lessons we've learned at work, struggles at school, growing pains we've felt, or even the food we’re talking over.

Why Do I Hate My Birthday? A Case of the Birthday Blues

Every year around the 7th of July, I start to get panicky. I dodge questions about the 11th. I make a weird joke about free slurpies at 7-11. But then I subtly tell people it's my birthday. But that I am already busy with trivial, mundane things like working out, meetings and various other very skippable things. I give people the out they need to skip my birthday.

I think I want people to take the out because

I hate my birthday.
