Birthdays are strange things. The more you have, the more you try and pretend they don’t matter, and the more       . I’m not really sure why they think so. It’s true that you are getting older, but as       , “Who isn’t getting older every day?” The problem may be that a birthday reminds people of all the things     
  , but have not. I certainly understand that feeling, though I think        that I most want to do — a kind of personal re-ordering (重新排序) of the to-do list. What makes you depressed(郁闷) on your birthday is that you realize your re-ordered to-do list is exactly the same as it was last year. That makes you feel       , and not been anywhere. I have not had that experience this year. I look back at where I was last year and find things have changed since then.
