    Hey happy birthday anyway.

    No no no you gotta accept you’re young. Don’t waste your thirties acting old, you got time to be old when you’re fifty.

    I love my birthdays because every year I survive inspire of everything. I got eons to be dead, revel in your time.

    Happy birthday!

    I like my birthday, but I never want a big thing about it. Just want to do some day drinking and chill.

    my favorite birthday was my 25th birthday

    I used to know this girl, she was a vicious little honey badger of a girl, but I adored her.

    at my birthday party, I got drunk and confident and hit on her a little, and she spent the rest of the party sitting near me or on my lap, laughing at my jokes and shit, I had no idea what was going on, she was never nice.

    that night, she asked me to walk her back to her apartment, and then invited me in to watch an episode of Cowboy Bebop (Toys in the Attic) and we made out and then made our way to the boudoir and had what was possibly the best experience of my life.

    the next morning, as I was leaving, she gave me a kiss and said "that was great, but never happening again, happy birthday."

    she moved to Hawaii later and we lost touch. I miss her sometimes.

    I think my favorite birthday was my 40th, but 33 is a very close second.

    I hate my birthday. My parents forgot my sixteenth birthday and when I brought it up to them two days later they said they were busy getting my brother to college.

    My ideal birthday is being alone, out on my deck at night, a glass of bourbon and one of my two annual cigars. Listening to classic rock and just... contemplating life?

    My wife calls it my melancholy day.

    This year, my kids (6 and 3, who know none of this) got wild. I came home from work to a decorated house (ice cream decor) and they made me gifts and big hugs as I came through the door.

    It went a long way to repairing my relationship to my birthday and now that I'm sober it's a edible, THC seltzer, and similar setup on the deck.

    I am in the business of saving lives.

    Actually no, it's not your birthday, it can't be your birthday.

    Because it's my birthday. I'm turning 33 and I'm up at my aunt and uncle's lake house reading bad mystery novels.

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    I will occasionally get morose about the time leading up to my birthday

    But I love my birthday, because a birthday is an excuse to throw a party (one of my favorite activities), and nobody is allowed to tell me that they hate theme parties because it's my birthday

    Ah, brother

    I will throw a theme party every damn time, I will put the work in to make it *memorable*

    Birthdays are important to me as a time to celebrate someone you care about and as a fall birthday, a bolster against the winter when things can get a little more dark and lonely and contemplative

    I try real hard to show folks I care on their day!!

    I mostly just think of my birthday as any other day. I like being all the ages I’ve been, I only get to be them once and they’re special, even when things are happening in my life that I don’t like so much.

    I like being alive and however arbitrary tracking “progress” is, birthdays are a pretty good time to stop and reflect a bit, and I usually enjoy doing that.

    Kids fucking know how to celebrate. Half the fun of other people’s birthdays is planning with my daughter what to do. She and I made a basque cheesecake for Viv for her birthday and she was fuckin thrilled.

    This year, for my birthday, my brother, his wife, his kids, his wife's family, my mom, and her husband all got together. At my brother's house. None of them saw me that day. So @MegaMan001 I hear you on the family thing, although my viewpoint now is very different.

    The above paragraph is why I used to resent birthdays. My family never seemed to really... see me? About two years ago I had the realization that I could make my birthday about whatever I want, so I decided to make it about gratitude - in this way it's not really even about me. I have a great life, even if it is hard sometimes. And anyone who sends me a birthday wish gets a message from me about why I'm grateful for them.

    And though it's nowhere near my birthday, I'll take this reminder and say I'm so thankful, in my own way, to have you all, even if I am not a frequent contributor. Thanks for being my people.

    This last school year my kiddo was in their exceptional/gifted/whatever program, and I was pretty stoked to find out that within the class they treated birthdays like Hobbit birthdays, and brought goodies/presents for the class on their birthday.

    My own barely gets remarked on much outside of the kiddo. Every few years someone'll feel bad about it and try to make a gesture, usually by foisting the footwork for whatever off onto me, but eh.

    That's kinda how all holidays go regarding me, really, though. Doesn't feel great, but at least there's no malice I guess.

    This thread did make me giggle a little when I saw it first though, because that was also mine hah

    happy belated birthday, depressperado! we're the same age for a few months.

    my birthday is actively cursed, so i simply don't tell people what day it is. i hate being the center of attention, but like, even aside from that, my luck is absolutely god-awful terrible on my birthday, to a supernatural degree, and it gets worse the more people remember on the day. nat one on multiple dice rolls, randomly have things dropped on me or splash me, get in minor accidents, pooped on by birds, drop ice cream cones, stuff like that.

    My birthday was Monday, the 5th. I ordered something from my favorite restaurant and a box of Krispy Kreme. Then I watched some G Gundam and Kids on the Slope with Animenagerie, but I felt awkward saying it was my birthday.
