Hi Anita,

yes of course. I think I misunderstood an earlier post where I thought you said you and her already discussed this. But of course.

I am walking home now. I am thinking about how you said I don’t have to celebrate with anyone. That is heartwarming to me. And something I needed to hear. Something a mother says to her child. When the child comes home and says, mom it’s my bday but I have no one to celebrate with. The mother responds me and you can celebrate together. My mother, parrot, would do the exact opposite. Start crying and say how horrible it is for me that I have no friends.

so thank you for that. For stating that. My brainwashed being directly goes to “oh this good thing happened to me, but I have no one to celebrate with.” I don’t NEED to celebrate it with anyone. It’s my own thing. It’s my thing with you. Just because I don’t share it, doesn’t make it less real.
