As you get older, you birthdays are just a reminder that you're getting older and it is something that weighs you down.

And, then you start celebrating again, because you cheated death for one more year.

That's why you're supposed to do something fun.

It should not weigh on you. Time flies it won't stop. So you might as well buy yourself a tasty cacke (probably a slice for portion control) and enjoy your day. You are still alive!

I honestly neve remember liking birthdays.

My kid was born on my 33rd birthday and my have aged since. 😉
