    Birthdays late December/early January suck.

    Everyone is busy, everywhere puts the prices up if you do manage to get people together and then there’s the joint Xmas and birthday gifts, ugh.

    Anon needs to get out to a all you can eat buffet, eat a good meal go home and sleep it off. Probably won’t land them a partner but they’ll get to try a bunch of foods and have a conversation starter for when they do meet up with someone.

      Works great for me. I hate celebrating my birthday. The People that do know my birthday usually forget with the other festivities. Wins all around.

      As a right next to Christmas birthday, I think we should be allowed to change them to summer if we want. 😤

    If you go to a bar and mention quietly to someone that it’s your birthday, you’re probably going to meet some people

    Invite sexworkers and just share them cakes, I got 6 or 7 of them just so all can laugh and sleep together. Free snacks, wifi, games ✌︎

        My best friend once said that it could always be worse: you could have shit on your head, that always makes it worse. Even if you’ve already got shit on your head, having more would without question be worse.

        It made me laugh, which is what I needed at the time, and there’s not really a point to this story other than that has stuck with me for decades.

      I know green text therefore we prob shouldn’t take it seriously, but still, God damn. Losing your family isn’t “lucky,” even if there are worse outcomes.
