That's how a birthday can feel.
That's one reason why birthdays are hard.
What do you think, Sissy?
And it's like a forced stillness.
It's like for the rest of the days, we can busy up and like conjure up our own worthiness.
We can make it so we can call the people.
We can show up.
We can do the email.
We can like busy ourselves up and reach outward to-
prove to ourselves that we are important and loved and whatever.
But on our birthday, it's like this different posture where we just have to sit there and wait.
If other people reach out to us, like we can't put ourselves in their lives.
We have to see if they care enough about us to like leave their own lives and reach out to us sitting in our house.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Interesting.
It's like all nostalgic.
Yeah.
Nostalgic can make us sick.
Okay.
