Celebrate the Exit: Birth Is the Spark. Death Is the Story.

Celebrate the Exit: Birth Is the Spark. Death Is the Story.

We’ve been cheering at the wrong end of life. We throw pyrotechnics for potential—tiny socks, hashtags, balloons—then whisper through endings like they’re glitches in the system. Birth or death—which deserves the bigger celebration? Let’s go there.

1) Birth: All Hope, No Resume

Babies are adorable. But birth is a party for possibility, not proof. It’s enrollment day, not the marathon. Opening credits, not the plot. Beautiful? Yes. Pinnacle? Not yet.

2) Death: The Mic-Drop Moment

Death is the audit—love given, messes made, lessons learned, impact left. That’s not shame; that’s legacy. We wait until funerals to say the truest things, then speak them in pastels and whispers. Why weren’t we shouting these stories at brunch?

3) The Double Standard

Birth gets balloons. Death gets casseroles. But death isn’t failure—it’s evidence you lived. If we celebrate arrivals and go mute at exits, we’re missing the point of the middle.

4) Normalize Exit Celebrations

Throw a going-away party that tells the truth: “They lived, they loved, they f*cked up, they made meaning.” Laugh, cry, dance, toast, testify. Slide-show the highlight reel and the bloopers. The last chapter deserves applause, not apology.

5) Both/And, Not Either/Or

Birth is the spark; death is the story arc. Celebrate beginnings and endings. Let the finale remind the living: time is short—make it count while the curtain’s still up.

Life Lesson

Live today so your exit demands celebration. Stack moments worth remembering—daily.

The Stupidbubble Exit Energy Play (this month) Write your eulogy now (1 page). Then live into it.

  • Weekly honor ritual. Share one story about someone who’s gone; pull one lesson forward.
  • Legacy reps. Daily “proof move” (call, create, mentor, forgive, ship).
  • No quiet goodbyes. When loss hits, organize the truth-telling celebration they deserved.

Everybody has a stupidbubble. Some stay trapped. Some break it. We turn ours into power.

Bottom line: Keep celebrating entrances. But honor the exits like the life mattered—because it did.

What do you think?
Should we be throwing celebration-of-life parties with DJs, champagne wearing our stupidbubble T'? And should obituaries read like greatest hits albums?
