How do I celebrate my birthday
when I am all alone in my life?
当我在独自一人的时候，
怎么庆祝我的生日？
I am 27, and have quit my job a few months ago
to check my priorities in life.
我27岁，
因为想要确定
在人生中最重要的事是什么。
Amid the frustrations that followed,
I have lost all my friends.
所以几个月前辞了工作，
紧随其后的是，
我失去了所有朋友。
I am alone right now, and by that,
I really mean there is no one
who would care for my birthday.
我现在是孤身一人，
我的意思是
真的没有人会在乎我的生日。
My birthday is later next week.
I wish to make it special
but have no clue how.
我下周就过生日了，
我想要让这个生日特别一些，
但是毫无头绪，不知道怎么做。
It happened to me once.
I bought a large cake and other goodies
and went to the park.
我也曾遇到过这样的事，
我带上蛋糕和其他食物去了公园。
I laid them out
and waved to passing strangers
who were alone and said,
“It’s my birthday,
come, have a piece of cake.”
我把它们都摆出来，
朝着独自路过的陌生人们
招手并对他们说：
“今天是我的生日，
过来吃块蛋糕吧。”
It worked a treat.
Have a practice birthday to try it.
There is no shortage of lonely people.
这简直棒极了。
过生日的时候试试这种做法，
做孤独的人没什么不好的。
You’re right that sitting around on your birthday
isn’t a good idea.
你说得对，
在生日时坐在那儿无所事事
并不是个好主意。
I suggest doing something new.
我建议你做些新奇的事情。
Get out of the house.
Try a different kind of food.
Go to the movies.
走出家门，
尝尝不一样的食物。
Plan a short road trip.
Go listen to some music.
Enjoy your own company.
计划一个短途旅行，
听点音乐，
享受独处时光。
Don’t re-enter your house
until you’ve had a little adventure.
在你经历过一次小小的冒险之前别回家。
Good luck.
We’ve all been there.
It will get better.
祝你好运，
我们一直在这里，
一切都会变得更好。
