Birthday Swell: to laughter and screaming…

article image placeholderUploaded by @DBPardes
It's my birthday tomorrow, and every year when I turn a certain age, I do something. Last three years, I've been doing something on Swell, so I thought I'd do a quickie to celebrate the day with my voice. This meme was sent to me by my cousin and I usually don't like to do memes here on Swell because swell is so unme, which I love about it. But this made me crack up because I take this as sort of a cool philosophy conversation

@DBPardes Hey Deborah, first want to say Happy early Birthday. Secondly, really agree with you that screaming can be a very positive action.

Because positivity is what drives us, what can drive us to be better and to move forward, especially from the point of our birthday into the new year, as you put it's. And I guess since, you know, since it's probably the first time I've ever heard of or ever really realized that screaming can be a very positive thing, you it

We celebrate the fact that we are here to be able to talk about it and to reflect and then to move into whatever God has for us next. So happy birthday

You're definitely a name that I see a lot and it's beautiful to just see how many people find comfort in some of the things that you talk about. You definitely have some of the, I'd say best replies maybe on Your Swells that you post, and I think that's just an indicator to the level of service and quality you are providing here. So I hear you on the analogy of screaming and finding your voice and speaking out on the things that you value

I knew I should have said Happy birthday when I first heard it, but I said, no, I'm going to wait until the day of and of course, I remember the day after but screaming Happy birthday. I really hope you are enjoying your birthday month. But I just wanted to let you know that I really do appreciate hearing your swells in your voice. It's really great. Happy birthday. Bye

I just got a chance to hear all these swells, and the replies are so beautiful and affirming. And I want to thank everybody for just chiming in and, you know, having a couple people listen to your voice that's all you need to feel the circle. What's so special about Swell is that it's not about volume of people it's about the volume of your voice and is being heard in whatever context and by whom ever we're supposed

Happy birthday to you happy birthday. That's me. Trying to sound like Stevie Wonder and failing. But you know what? Happy birthday. Jump, sing, laugh, dance, anything you want to do. Because that's how we should live, without anybody telling us we're wrong. And as Bob Marley sang I love to see you dancing from within that's the best way dance from within every day happy birthday

#happy #belated #birthday #primalscreams #laughter Do not know how to effectively use this app…but will learn.

Happy belated birthday, Deborah. I'm sorry I missed it. Yeah, primal screaming is amazing. I scream into my pillow, it works, and that way I can release it without shedding it into the rest of the world. And I laugh constantly, because laughter is the way to survive. Humor is the way to survive
