I am notorious for feeling the existential tug in the month leading up to my birthday, so I feel you. Do something that you don't get to do that often that will make you happy, go to your favourite restaurant (or cook your favourite food), walk in your favourite place. Try not to be internal and indoors on this day, try to do something that celebrates even if it's in a small way.

After all, you were born x amount of years today and that's joyous. I won't say you're loved (by the people here) because when people say that to me, it comes across a bit hollow. But by virtue of you being the type of person who chooses to spend their time in leftist spaces, I sincerely hope you find a way to have a joyous, happy birthday. Maybe that is love.

I always get pretty low on my birthday, so I don't really have a good answer. But just know that you're great and you deserve to have a happy birthday.

Happy Birthday. Go for a walk. See some flowers. Get yourself a coffee or some eats. Just time away from the news, the bullshit, and all the crapola. It won't change it, but it helps to just tune out for a day and focus on you.

Go outside and get some dirt on you. Seriously. Not saying it to be like "touch grass" dirt is a literal anti-depressant. Theyve done studies on it.

Mine was a few days ago, I don’t really have any tips except try and talk to people. They act extra nice when they find out it’s your birthday and that’s kinda nice. I can say or do weird shit and they give me more grace than usual.

What are your favorite activities just curious, and is there anything you could do to have your own little celebration?

Nothing at all? What about games or movies?
