Um... Does anybody have advice for if you've started to dislike your birthday or be afraid of what might happen?

You could always talk to other people about it!

[Stanley has a cheesy grin on his face.]

[aquaticrush]

I guess, but it's just kind of silly. So you don't? Dislike any days like that, I mean.

[twobloomsup]

To be honest, I've never really celebrated my birthday like everyone else around me does.

[aquaticrush]

Is it not common where you used to live?

[twobloomsup]

...no. No, it wasn't.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. You sound kind of sad. I mean, I don't want to bother you, but.

[twobloomsup]

It's not your fault. I just remembered a sad time, that's all.

[material_guy]

Ain't you a little young to be gettin' an age complex?

[aquaticrush]

It's not really like that, Greed-san... At least, I don't think so? I'm more used to being too young for things than too old...

[material_guy]

At yer age I wouldn't figure it was. So this's the part where you tell me what the real problem is.

[aquaticrush]

There isn't a problem, really! I was just asking... That would make it worse.

[material_guy]

Then if you won't gimmie anything else to work with, I'll just have to solve it the best way I can. No complaints, got it? Since you ain't givin' me much to work with.

[aquaticrush]

You don't have to do anything! Really, it isn't anything! I just wondered if anybody knew, you don't need to think things up!

[oceanicbutterfly]

If I ever learn to stop being nervous about New Year's Day, I'm sure I'll have some advice for you.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry, Karen-san! A lot of things have happened for you, too... Is it a day that something bad happened?

[oceanicbutterfly]

It seems to be the time of year when everything that's been building up finally happens. It was when we found the last Pinky, for instance.

[aquaticrush]

That makes sense. It's sort of fitting, isn't it?

[oceanicbutterfly]

...I suppose it is, now that you mention it. Like at the end of the year we finish what we've been doing all year.

[aquaticrush]

Is there something I can do to help?

[masked_god]

Stop celebrating it.

[aquaticrush]

But that's sort of sad, isn't it?

[masked_god]

Not really. Years stop having much meaning after a while. No need to be reminded of one's age constantly, right? There are plenty of other holidays to celibrate instead.

[aquaticrush]

But I'm only 19. I mean, I'm not sure if that's too old or too young to make the best life I can, but it's not a bad age, is it?

[masked_god]

Hmm. I would say you are young enough to not worry about having the 'best' life.

Generally when you start looking for the 'best' you're over thinking things, and its time to go back to what feels right, not 'best'. except in the cases of dictatorships and relationships, of course

[aquaticrush]

Doesn't everyone worry about having the best life they can? Or at least having an alright one.
