To continue with that previous journal that I posted that showed me that I'm uncomfortable: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10148973/ , well, the thing here is that I do have to take what that article says and it is that last part to say to enjoy it and to listen to myself and accept what I feel. I had to think about this deeply and to even hear a song I had heard from one of my favorite shows, I do feel a bit happier. In this thought of being 39, I did accept that I will age, but it was me having to dwell in the past and also see the future. There is no way to see the future, but predictions can occur, too. If you want to know what the show is, it was called B Positive that I see on CBS: https://www.cbs.com/shows/b-positive/ I LOVE THE SHOW! It is the show's song that I had to think deeply on (This is Ashleigh version-the original is by Keb'Mo):



It is a catchy tune, no? (I will leave it to you to see the lyrics!) After hearing it over and over again, I did come to a conclusion that yes, there is in ways happiness is relative, and we will have to face the facts of life sometimes- there can be ways to have some things in your favor. After seeing that there would be nearly 300 days left in the year and 62 have passed (63 on leap years), I did come to a conclusion that I would like it as when a birthday is early in the year, you would have an advantage in having the slate be clean again, and to have things that have not worked in obtaining things and self-improvement to have a second chance. So you can get another chance at resolutions as you are in YOUR New Year. Therefore, you can still have that idea of gaining success for the year again as you will have another chance at life as you will age again. Huh, I do not know about you when you have birthdays in the middle or at the end ot the year, but yeah, for those at the end, I could figure that you will have plans for the next year set if you have my mindset. The calendar New Year would be a way to fine tune your plans. The ones in the middle? You may have a disadvantage...

Anyway, I'm introvert, and I would not really want to have such a birthday that is so showy-an example is  Schmozy on his birthday art:

Calming birthday: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/32479663/
And same area, but HEART ATTACK birthday: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/32479805/ <<NO, please, not this one! If it is that the lights are off, and I get that surprise on the turn-on, I'll turn it off right away or, I'll run away! But... eh, after a while, I will appreciate.

The good thing here is that I forgot that my date is also "I Want You to Be Happy Day" in the USA according to the National Today Calendar: https://nationaltoday.com/national-want-happy-day/ and yes, you remember that time when I did do photos of these national days and I did it tickle-themed as Cory?: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/30693467/ Well, if that is the case, YOU MAKE ME HAPPY-YOUR TURN! I'll go ahead and make tickles on you and hear you laugh , but you make me happy too WITHOUT TICKLING ME!

Well, I won't have the opportunities to do the other National Days since my birthday is on this year, Thursday- but wow, look at these for my birthday other than the ones I did!:

Canadian Bacon Day: https://nationaltoday.com/canadian-bacon-day/

National If Pets Have Thumbs Day: https://nationaltoday.com/national-.....ts-thumbs-day/ (Of course, you furry domesticated pets, this day is for you!)

World Wildlife Day: https://nationaltoday.com/world-wildlife-day/ (This would be for the wild furries.)

33 Flavors (of ice cream) Day: https://nationaltoday.com/33-flavors-day/ (YUM!)

Japan Dolls Festival: https://nationaltoday.com/japan-dolls-festival/

Peach Blossom Day: https://nationaltoday.com/peach-blossom-day/

National Hospitalist Day: https://nationaltoday.com/national-.....spitalist-day/ (This would be a bit personal as I was a volunteer receptionist and discharger for a hospital until it closed down-I liked what I did. I still have my old uniform, and I would be glad to wear that for this day while I fursuit!)

World Hearing Day: https://nationaltoday.com/world-hearing-day/ (This is also personal as I have tinnitus, and I value my ears. And I do have to wear earmuffs and plugs when I go to raves. AGH, the buzzing in my left ear is SO UNBEARABLE!! )

So I have figured it out- thanks to that article and the B Positive theme song, there can be a silver lining to me being born early in the year, and it is good to listen to yourself and have at it to say that you have a day that is valuable to you-you just accept that there are things you can't control and there is a solution. Let go of the past, and nobody is perfect.

The wish I'd like here is YES, THE TINNITUS TO BE GONE, but I'd be happy to get a bonsai tree-it would be feng shui for my room. In any case, I'll be happy for any arts you will give me. Thanks so much.

So here I am getting my head out of my ass like the B Positive song and it's my prerogative to be positive that I have aged again and did not die! To think I did wish to be born the next year, but on February 29th so then I will not have my birthday celebrated...

Ahead of time, thanks for the birthday wishes. If you have read this, let me know by your responses-you may get something from me in the future! (Don't lie!)
