Yeah. Yeah. So I wonder, is there a way to approach our own birthdays with the limited time we have left on this earth in a way that makes them more satisfying? In a way that avoids expectations, comparison, making it a referendum on our life. We had three friends over last night, actually, to celebrate one of their birthdays. And it was just a very simple, lovely talking on the couch dinner.

And then at the end, we all sat down and I had a little notebook and we talked about Deb's just kind of like intentions and hopes and dreams for the next year. together. And we wrote them all down. And it was really beautiful because as her friend, now I know what she is dreaming of for the next year. I know so much of what's in her heart and what she values and wants. And so now I feel like

It's not just about next year, finding out if it all came true. It's about knowing what to check in with her about, knowing what's real for her.

Yeah. And it's not just like a secret wish. I think it's so weird. The birthday wish that we have to keep secret. And then some of us are so superstitious that I'll speak for myself. Every time I'm like making a secret birthday wish and my family's all around me, I want to wish for something for myself. But then I'm like, Oh God, I got to wish everybody stays happy and healthy again.

I just think caregivers should get two wishes. But what do you think are some ideas to like go into our own birthdays without falling into the pitfalls of what makes us sad on our birthdays?
