What is the most important thing that I have done in the past year? And what is one thing that I really want to achieve in this next year or that I really want to experience or see? And then I just let myself also do some general journaling. I just let myself spill out onto the page. That's obviously what I'm going to do tonight when I go get my little breakfast for dinner situation.

And I use actually I should have said this. I have a specific journal that I only use for this. So it's like my birthday journal. And so I'll often read back on all of my other entries and

obviously now I have so many that I kind of well not that many but enough that I kind of forget what I've said and what I've been reflecting on so it's actually a really beautiful serene experience to really sink into the life that I was living when I was 23 and the life that I was living when I was 22 and And the problems I was having when I was 18. And I feel like I'm right there with her.

And yet I'm also growing. And I'm also experiencing a whole different life in some aspects of it. So that routine is really, really important to me. More generally, if you are dealing with birthday anxiety, my tip is just to do less. And to be totally okay with doing some things alone. And making it a little bit smaller. That is always going to lead to a more happy experience, in my opinion.

I also think that instead of feeling like you need to be silent around your fears of aging or your sense of loneliness when it comes to a birthday, whatever it is, please talk about it with someone. Every single time I've brought up this specific feeling of stress and worry when it comes to my birthday, the person I've spoken to has said, yeah, me too. I completely get where you're coming from.

I'm very lucky that my best friend's birthday is three days after mine. So I feel like we always share these parallel experiences. And every year we kind of have the same conversation where we're like, oh, my God, another year older, like freaking out together. But we also feel this real sense of parallelness and camaraderie.

And we feel like it's quite a unique bond and experience to be going through a lot of these emotions and this process of aging together. The other thing I really like to reflect on and that I think might be useful is is I reflect on all the people I know who are five, 10 years older than me. I think it's really important to have friends who are at different stages of their life than you.
