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.

Sometimes a birthday celebration is more for the people in our lives than it is for us, because they want to celebrate us and it's an ideal opportunity for it. I don't think there's anything wrong with not feeling celebratory or not being too enthusiastic about your birthday. But I also get that it might mean more to our loved ones.

Hope it's fun either way--I admit I like getting drunk with close friends, but it's not for everyone.

Also, my birthday was yesterday, so ours are close :)
