So, I think for the longest time the reason birthdays felt so troublesome to me was that it was a sign that I was getting older. And that is something that was very, very scary. My perspective on aging though has changed and I used to be really scared of it. I used to joke with my friends that I would be forever 22.

And so because of that, it feels very unknown, very uncertain, very unstable. And with that empty space and with that uncertainty, our brain likes to fill that with fear and It likes to feel that with catastrophic ideas and imaginations of what it's going to be like.

And they're not always positive. The other reason that we are scared of aging, other than the fear of the unknown, is a similar fear of the unknown. And it's a fear of death. It feels like each year we are, you know, closer to the end of this journey than the beginning.

Then I realized that aging is actually absolutely necessary because the alternative to not getting older is that you would always stay the same and that you would always stay in the same place as the same past version of you.
