So the 22 or 23 or ..etc is allegedly my birthday. It is a long story. A bunch of friends insist to take me for a drink

It will be the very first time I actually do get drunk (or more). I had alcohol but didn't like it ,more than 13 years ago. It was vodka. And it was just a few sips.

My family organized a party for me tomorrow. I don't feel like doing that yet like always, I don't like policing other people's happiness.

I lost too many people this year. It doesn't feel celebratory. But hey, there will always be something to grieve. Whether it is related to me personally or not. I have to settle with the guilt and give others an opportunity to hope not everything is broken.

I often think of that last bit while teaching kids. Regardless of my beliefs, they are better off not being exposed to my disillusionment.

I know you lost a lot of people you care about. There's nothing I can say to make that better. But I want you to celebrate because this world still has you. You're a miracle and a blessing to us. Those people you lost would have lived and passed with or without you, and they had the privilege of having you in their life. That is something to celebrate.

The joy I feel when I think of you is real — find motivation in that. I love you.
