   what is "dead inside"

   
   A living zombie. Soulless in the sense of being incapable of actual good or evil. A walking shell, for one who's trapped in their own body.

   Blowing out a candle for each year that's been spent up to that point is some deep existential shit if you think about it.

   What's cool though is if you're 40 and for every year you've blown out a candle for how many years old you are, it's 40 x 1, 39 x 2, 38 x 3, 37 x 4.... for total number of years contained within a birthday cake. Is there a name for such a sequence?

   i didn't quite get the pattern in the sequence, but maybe a direct inverse variation?

   Lets say if you had 40 birthday candles. And each birthday candle was assigned a value 1-40, the total value of the cake would be 40 + 39 + 38 + 37....+ 2 + 1. If you had 40 birthday candles, it would be your 40th birthday. If you wanted to find the total value of all the candles from every birthday for your entire life, the number 40 would only occur at the age 40, the number 39 would occur at age 40 and 39, the number 38 would occur at age 40, 39, and 38. And so on.

    that sounds like linear measurement in reverse

    It's uh
    
    summing all the consecutive nonzero integers, with a start point at 0 every time, that occur between 0 and the final integer
    
    I wonder if it has an actual name
    
    40 =
    1
    +
    1 + 2
    +
    1 + 2 + 3
    +
    1 + 2 + 3 + 4
    +
    1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
    
    and so on
    
    every diagonal goes "1, 2, 3, 4, 5....."

    maybe a (one-dimensional) line segment, or, though unlikely, an array or table?
