Having a birthday is kind of like being re-born. Ok, so it’s not exactly the same, but if you sit back and relax and soak in the glory of another trip around the sun, it’s pretty cool. And telling.

Lucky for me, she rid me of my anxiety 10 minutes into our session. And I didn’t die a slow death in a therapists office on a Wednesday.
