What do I want for my birthday? (lemmy.ca)

It's that time of year again when my partner gets upset with me because I'm not the kind of person that ever wants anything...

My partner always wants this or that. They mention things they want all the time. So I write down what I hear. Gift holidays are covered easily because I try to pay attention.

I feel bad though. I know it's hard when I don't talk about things I want. And when asked, I don't know what to say. It only ends up causing me anxiety.

This is so dumb. What does a person who doesn't want things want for their birthday?

Oh no no no. Lol. I think I'm all full up on Tim Robinson for a while. 🤣

Charity is a great idea, actually! Thank you.

And thanks for the birthday wishes. I didn't think about the fact that this question actually revolves around my birthday actually happening. Was kind of hoping to just ignore that. I'm at the age where I'd like to just pretend this getting old thing isn't truly happening. 🙃

For my birthday, I want immortality!

Maybe an ayahuasca trip would be interesting
