How do I remember my friend's birthday?

Zosia

You could put it on your calendar, or put a sticky note on the wall with their birthday on it. You could also use the Windows calendar.

Question

Should I talk to him in my mind or out loud?

Community Answer

It's your choice! Still, it might be best to talk in your mind if you are around other people or in a place where talking is discouraged.

Since they are imaginary, there is really not much to say: just imagine they do.

Question

Can I base him on an actual person?

Aimee Pate

Community Answer

Yes. For example, if you have a crush on someone but you can't talk to them, you can just imagine it. Or if you need some encouragement, think of the most encouraging person you know!
