Dear Nicola, I am dreading waking up alone on my birthday

Dear Nicola,

It’s my birthday in a couple of months and I’m already feeling anxious about it. It’s not just the idea of waking up all by myself, which I’m dreading, but also the idea of planning something and no-one wanting to come or everyone hating what I want to do for it.

This isn’t my first birthday on my own but it’s really bothering me this year, which I think could be something to do with the pandemic maybe.

Any thoughts?

Ms Jones
