Thanks guys, while I appreciate the kind thoughts I do not celebrate getting older.
To me it's just one day less that I have left to live, one day closer to death.
I have no fond or happy memories of any birthdays, most of them have been unpleasant.
I try really hard to forget this day but unfortunately the internet won't let me.
I wish that the system here would have an option that would turn off birthday notifications, as I don't want to be reminded of it and have no desire to share this day with the rest of the world.
Thank you again for the good intentions but it is a day that I do not like to think of.
