Does it seem odd to track my lifespan?
So I have a widget in my phone's home screen tracking the days I have lived so far, to remind me of the time I have, and not to waste it.
I was sitting in the school dining hall, glancing at my phone to check the time and my friend remarked how it is weird that I'm counting the days I'm living.
I didn't say anything but I'm confused about how is it weird.
We are 15~16 y/o.

It's objectively weird in the sense that most people don't do that.
What? Most people celebrate birthdays. How is that not essentially the same thing? lol
Most people have hair on their heads. If someone had feathers on their head instead, that'd be weird, even if it were essentially the same thing in principle.
It is essentially the same thing, but that is the cultural box that we've created where it's normal to keep track of your lifespan. A Death Note style reminder has not been deemed socially acceptable.
