I get that way during my birthdays too. It's perfectly normal and understandable.

Yep, that's understandable. I felt that way when I turned 31 not too long ago. Try not to dwell on it, and focus on doing what you love and enjoying life. At least, that's what I try to do.

I wish you a happy birthday. And please do not feel depressed or lonely this day. Think about the people who love you and who care and worry to you, the people to whom you make any importance in the world and they consider you someone special and very dear and that you want all the possible good. It was not for nothing that you came into the world on this day 31 years ago so do not consider how "one day less" but as "one day more." Best wishes to you and all good.

*hugs and snugs* I am sorry, man. Trust me, I know how you feel. *hugs* But you are a wonderful guy and you touch a lot of people's lives. You have been very sweet and you have been very wonderful. I think that is a wonderful positive for you! And on your birthday, you are still there for people and are very sweet to those you talk to.


*hugs* Well, that nagging feeling of wanting to do more will always stay with you, I think you have done a lot and I hope you know you are a wonderful guy to those you've come to know. *hugs*



I really do hope you had a wonderful day on your Birthday and hope you got to do something fun! Hope you enjoyed your day, my friend! *hugs* You take care of yourself and be well. Have a good one and know you are a wonderful fellow, my friend! *hugs*


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

Pretty late happy birthday from me as well

I can somewhat relate to that, eventhough I'm only 26, I've been somewhat melancholic about getting older the past few years. It was only this year during a convention in the karaoke room that I realized how much I really love music, how big my passion for it actually is. so I decided to learn a new instrument and am putting a lot more time into my other music related activities, and suddenly I see the future much less gloomy.

Maybe you can find some (I don't want to call it self fulfillment) fun or at least some distraction in a similar field?

sorry for the many words, but I hope I'm able to help. ^^

I feel you. I'm in that age bracket myself. Celebrating my birthday was fun until I became old enough to contemplate it. Prior to that it was all cake, ice cream, and parties! Now it's - blech - I don't want to even acknowledge that day. I always try to forget it, and I don't want anyone giving me "Happy Birthday" wishes. Seeking truth and meaning have helped me a great deal. Tough to filter out truth in this world, though. I've found some interesting things that keep me relatively engaged and pleasantly distracted in the meantime. Pleasant distraction is the key in this place, in my humble opinion. Especially important on "that" day, is to find some way ... ANY way, to distract yourself. Come to think of it, maybe that is the purpose of the celebration on this day! Party it up, but forbid all mention of those two dreaded words!

Everyone feels that, man. I am 39. I spent years drinking and doing drugs and even being homeless. Yeah there's a ton I could do, could have done, could be doing right now, even. we're all doing he best we can.
