Life is what it is & we can be thankful for things we do have vs bemoaning what we don't have

I’m one of yours. Or even more radical. I celebrate when and what I feel like or have something to celebrate. I’m not bothered by people celebrating certain things on certain day but I can’t care less.
It was different when I was an adolescent and a young adult, I felt very bad because of I somehow felt forced to celebrate things when I had a social phobia I couldn’t handle it even a bit. It was a torture.
Now, I can’t care less.
Anyway, I can understand who and how other people may feel triggered.
