I'd say we're all missing birthdays.

Having a party to celebrate someone that you love.

I mean, kids are losing their bloody minds.

But you can still send them a card or a little prezi

I sang a song, said a little prayer, burn some incense and lit some candles. Normal hippie behaviour, she says, not me. Let's hope the full moon in two weeks
