How do you feel about birthdays?

[Zaya]

I absolutely loved mine when I was younger. My parents always made sure I had a special day and I'm really thankful for that

Used to care about other people's birthdays but...well, that's sorta up in the air. Sometimes do, sometimes don't. The weak part of me loves to make people happy and show I appreciate them by buying something for them but I guess that's a bad thing to do.

Just another day for consumerism and guilt tripping.

Just another day watching the sand timer run out as your body withers into a wrinkly prune.

I hate my birthday. I hate giving and receiving gifts, and I hate attention being on me. I'm fine with other people's birthdays, especially since as a young adult it feels socially acceptable for the gift I give them to just be a shot at a bar.

Birthdays nowadays remind me how I'm lagging behind others and remaining stuck in place. They temporarily give me motivation to try changing things, but it doesn't last long - kind of like New Year's.
