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!
