I think when birthdays approach, we naturally take a look forward and backward, mentally inventorying our lives and accomplishments. The markers that we view as the big ones get special attention and it's as simple as that.
I had a crisis when I turned 30. It was the moment when I realized I wasn't 17 anymore. Tried to have one when I turned 40 but changed my mind.
Haven't had one since.
