Why is a birthday so special?
It’s not!
You’re missing the point!
The day of your birth is special β¦. and every day after that!
Every day is a birthday in that context.
Celebrate every day. If you have to wait until your birthday to celebrate then you are missing something in your life.
Like Valentine’s Day. Don’t wait to send someone flowers because society tells you to.
Send them spontaneously because you love them.
