Dear journal,
It’s my birthday today (it was on 3/7 when I started this), and I have been writing a lot about this event. How do I celebrate my birthday as a responsible adult? First, I have to become responsible! 😆 🤣 😂 that was a joke… 😆 🤣 😂
My birthday rituals until now:
- Fabulous hairstyle
- Dressing up
- Buying arts and crafts materials
- Buying fabric
- Oftentimes, getting Chipotle


New birthday rituals I’m creating
- Gratitude journaling
- Past year in review
- Setting intentions for next year
- Accepting responsibility and being accountable for my actions
- Giving back or charity
- Baking my favorite cookies
- Still buying art and craft materials and fabrics.
I’m changing my rituals from stuff about my looks (and arts and crafts) to a more mature way to celebrate my birthday. I’m turning my birthday around and infusing my celebration with astrology, shadow work/ personal growth, and union because it’s not just what i look like on this day that ensures the best time.
My intention for my birthday season is to do things that are good for me for the entire year because I realized it’s not about being happy on my birthday but doing things that would ensure prolonged happiness.
I am 37, and I know I don’t look that age. My secret is faith, love, and so much lovemaking. ❤️ My teeth aged, though 😬 and I’ll talk about that.
Birthday evolution:
In childhood, our birthday celebration is not our responsibility. Typically, parents and families celebrate their children. I have two daughters who still don’t know know their own birthdays, but they don’t have to remember. They don’t get to stress about it. They know mommy will remind them the month before. We will have a birthday countdown. There will be fun and celebration. They will get their favorite foods and presents and more. My children even travel for their birthdays.
In our teenage years, we experience a need to separate from our family and become our own person, and this might manifest as going out, celebrating with friends, and all sorts of different ways. Teenagers don’t want to be celebrated the way children do. They want their birthday to be cool and not sweet. They might want an expensive gift of their choosing or money. They might reject the usual birthday party.
Even further, teenagers and very young people can celebrate their birthday in an unconscious and selfish way. For example: excessive partying, drinking, drug use, spending lots of money, shallow sex, and some selfish people might treat themselves to cheating on their girlfriend or boyfriend. 🤔
I have noticed that many adults don’t grow past the stage of very young people birthday celebrations. Other adults simply don’t celebrate or do anything. Some adults do not want to be reminded of their birthday and rather nobody knew. My Scorpio lover says it’s just another day…
What would be an evolution 🤔 of our birthday celebration if we suddenly become a mature and responsible adult? 🤔 It certainly would not be some of the damaging things some adults do.
My intention is to change my birthday around from a let me have fun this day to let me do good things for me that will ensure I’m growing, getting better, becoming happier! This will be my renewed conscious birthday celebration.
Accepting responsibility for my actions
I will be very honest, and it hurts. I had not gone to the dentist in an embarrassingly long time. I spent my birthday lunch at the dentist, and wow, did I take responsibility for my actions! I am losing a tooth, which now I realize I must celebrate this loss. I already mourned the loss. I also will schedule pre-birthday dentist appointments so I will not have to go on my birthday.
I decided to use my birthday to go to the dentist because I was way overdue, but I’m using this experience (divine as it was) for my growth and development.
Doing something hard on my birthday
Long ago, before I became Lovestar, I was lazy. I worked myself to a daily cleaning practice and was successful. Then my birthday came. On my birthday, the young me decided I would not clean on my birthday. What would be the hurt of one day of no cleaning? No big deal.
Well, I broke my cleaning routine on my birthday, and this destroyed my cleaning routine, and I was unable to do all my work again for the longest time. 🙃 It was necessary, I realized, to do the hard things on my birthday!
Life is not easy. It is important to do the normal, not easy, and not fun things on our birthday too. It is also important to celebrate but with balance. I work on my birthdays, too.
A birthday joke
It was my birthday and I had to write the date down.
What date is it?
Oh, right, it’s my birthday!
But, what date is it?
I pray you took something of value from my birthday introspection.
I have been most busy which is why I have been offline.
I decided to take responsibility very seriously and have been doing intense amounts of housework, house repair, and more. I also started spring cleaning, which is the earliest spring cleaning for me, and will become part of my birthday plan for the future.
With love and light,
Eve, now 37 (my birthday is 3/7 and now I’m 37) there’s actually significance to this birthday so I’ll write more about this.
