["My birthday is soon, it's always a wonderful time to reflect. It's a great time of year for me!", "Well hey, happy early birthday. I'm happy you take a positive spin on it.. I wish I could do that myself. I hate mine, always dread when it comes. Makes me feel like I haven't achieved what I would have liked to have achieved at the age I'm turning to, so I just get self-conscious about it.", "Thank you. I think you need to be a little easier on yourself. No one's life is perfect or just as they want it but we need to make the most out of what we have."]
That's good advice! I will try to. In general I don't like talking about myself, or having attention put on me, so that's partly the reason birthdays aren't my thing either. But it's good to have people who like theirs
My birthday is soon!
