Just came up with this - what dates on the calendar hold some significance for you, whether or positive or negative? What days roll around and make you feel either happy or sad remembering what happened on them in past years? Birthdays preferably excluded, but if that’s the one you like the best, go for it.
For me, I have two dates that always cheer me up - March 14 (Pi Day, but it’s also the day in my last year of high school that I found out I was accepted to my top choice for college/university) and November 11 (11/11, because I’m one of those gigantic gayfers who used to make a wish and hope it came true...before the world showed me there is little magic to be found here).
Conversely, February 1, August 28, and September 16 are all dates that bum me out, and each one is because of a girl; the first is when I moved to a town where I met this chick who would eventually crush my heart harder than anyone else, the second is when my first long term girlfriend and I became official (we’ve been broken up longer than we were together), and the last is the first (and, as far as I know, only) time someone cheated on me. I no longer feel any sorrow for any of them, but I think about those things all day long on those respective dates.
What about the rest of y’all? What dates do you anticipate and/or dread each year?
