I am or have learnt to be rather stoical in my everyday life. It gets me through I am happy. I look for the positives in the everyday in nature. I count my blessings. And then there is my birthday and no matter how I try stoicism flies out the window. It becomes emotionally fraught. Does anyone else know what I’m talking about? Even thinking about can cause tears to well up. Weird. I wish I could sincerely be more laid back about it. And not that I like getting a year older either... seems to me a day of mourning.
