I got "Happy one year closer to death" 😭😭💀

[@whybhavi]

💀

[@aiko9393]

People that are more religious usually do this. Sometimes it's "selamat muhasabah"; selamat is Indonesian for happy, and muhasabah is Arabic for self-reflection if I'm not mistaken.

[@whybhavi]

@@jamasq Actually both of the reasons are true, it's upto you to take the negative one or the positive one 😄

[@jorrdan.]

@@jamasq why worry about that? life is about living not worrying about the fact that you’re getting closer to death. You grow every year as a person and there’s nothing wrong with celebrating that. Death is really not a bad thing (generally speaking), it’s just the end of your story here and that’s okay

[@whybhavi]

@@jamasq yeah and even reality is the combination of both negativity and positivity, so my question remains the same 😶

[@avradipghosh799]

Well, we can also say it as..... 1》" HAPPY LANDING DAY " ( In a humorous tone it sounds good) 2》"WISH YOU TO BLOW MORE CANDLES IN FUTURE. " (It expresses benevolence) 3》"COMMENCE A NEW CHAPTER OF LIFE WITH GLEE AND MIRTH. " ( I think it also sounds good and enkindles a new hope ) I hope you will also like those to wish instead of/ apart from wishing " HAPPY BIRTHDAY "🙂

I wish you a more happier birthday than anyone else has wished you..

[@brianchase1]

Or some people also condense it to “Happy bday!” with or without a dash in between “bday”. I think this is more casual and something that is used for closer friends where it’s not seen as inconsiderate for not spelling out “birthday”. I personally use it a lot because if you just write it out regular as “Happy birthday!” it’s kind of more formal and seems as though not much thought was put into it. But that’s just how I see it and you can use any phrase that works for you. Thanks for coming to my Ted-Talk.

moral:- just say "Happy Birthday"

[@Julieber1]

How about happy rejuvenation day instead of a happy birthday because birthdays mean you’re getting older rather than younger. By saying happy, rejuvenation day, you are using powerful words to imply the person is getting younger with part of magic. So I’m gonna start using happy rejuvenation day because I don’t wanna be responsible for making people get older by saying same words that will cause somebody to get older and age. So happy rejuvenation day, everyone . 🎉🎉

[@1flybyguy]

I had to look up "many happy returns" to understand how and if it's used. The phrase on its own makes no sense even if said on someone's birthday because the phrase isn't used and people have no idea that it's shortened from, "Happy birthday and many happy returns of the day." Native American English speakers don't use this phrase for birthdays... I would guess not since the colonial time just by the way it's worded. My experience with the phrase has always been with Christmas. Someone would wish you a Merry Christmas and you'd reply, "and many happy returns."
