What can I say after reading such a outstanding work again. Birthdays are there to remind the person you are still breathing. Most people take a month to celebrate. Not me. I don't tell anyone. It's a regular day. As kid, it's different but now I'm still breathing. You give praise on your day. You acknowledge the importance of this day with other things that matter to you and makes you a better human being to share this day. Also Happy Birthday. Until the next piece of writing. Have a great one.

I believe I'm a little too late, but thank you for your thoughtful words. Birthdays do carry a peculiar weight, don’t they? A reminder, not of celebration alone, but of the quiet persistence of life. It’s rare to find someone who truly understands that the day is not just about marking time but about acknowledging what has been learned, grown, and shared.

I appreciate the sentiment more than you know. Thank you for the birthday wishes, and I look forward to the next exchange of ideas.
