HIVE

It was a sad birthday. Comfort me please.

I'm so sorry that your birthday wasn't as good as it should have been! Everyone deserves a wonderful time on their birthday.
That said, it is just another day of the year. It's a reason to be happy, but you have a lot of other reasons to be happy, and you can honestly celebrate being alive on any day. When I feel down, I like to think about how miraculous everything is. It's really cool that I'm not blind for example, because the world is so beautiful. I've been so gifted to have the use of my sight for 19 years of my life. I've also been gifted to have hearing, friends, a computer, really cool games on that computer, and so much more. Life could be infinitely worse.

Even if it were terrible though, it would still be life! Life is pretty cool. The chances of our births were so infinitesimally small, and we by all chances shouldn't have been born, but we were anyways. Now we have 80 or so years on this earth to make whatever we want out of ourselves before the permanent embrace of death comes for us. The permanence of death is so depressing to me, because the length of life is practically nothing compared to the length of death. We do have this time though, and I try to remember how terribly short life is as much as I can so that I appreciate it all the more. It's a pretty wonderful thing to live and experience the sensations of the world.

Wow, I always thought you were a robot.

I think it's just me having a hard time adapting to the changes happening around. I realized time went by so fast and there's no way to relive all the fun I had in the past. That I have no choice but to grow older and change so myself, keep moving forward like they say, but I'm not sure I want to. And finally, I'm here, questioning what life is about, and why am I even existing. Tasks that used to make me happy does not anymore. Got depressed for the first time in my life for no actual reason.
Man, I think this is midlife crisis with a hint of existential crisis. Never thought I would experience these. Not me of all people. And at the age of 22.

But there's no need to worry anymore. It was a sad birthday yes, but the "comfort me" part, I sort of meant as a joke (at least this time). Because I already found my answer, and I feel a bit better day by day.
But still, thanks. For sharing your perspective in life, the kind words, and encouragement, you're the nicest bot I know.
