I'm happy with my age, but I don't like shouting it out for others to hear.

Plus, that's a piece of your identity puzzle. Enough pieces and someone can have a field day with your credit.

I did have a moment that I liked when a pharmacist asked someone what their birthdate was as I walked by in Walmart because she and I have. the. exact. same. birthdate. Hearing it gave me a spritz of happiness because while I have met people who have my birthday, it's rarely the same year. I thought that was one of those tiny but fun moments the Universe doles out some joy and says, I see you.
