I understand some people don’t like birthdays. “It’s just another day,” some say. But for me, birthdays are more than that. They’re a chance to show appreciation and love, to spoil someone and make them feel like royalty. For me, they’re also about reflection and growth. How was the last year? What did I do well? What could I have done better? And most importantly, they’re about gratitude, for everything. For those around me who make life special, who have helped shape my journey into what it is today. Birthdays, to me, are everything🙌.
Today has been a special one. The number might mean nothing to most, but as I step into this next chapter,đź“–Chapter 32đź“–, I step into it as a version of myself no other chapter has ever seen.
One where I make decisions for me. Where I’m unapologetically myself. Where I wear no mask. Where I do not let mental health rule me. I change my career title from Wren/Sailor/Leading Hand to business owner and full-time student. These two things alone are something I didn’t think possible just one year ago let alone 10 years.
Never stop dreaming. Never stop striving for more. I’ve gone from struggling with Anxiety and so I'll I was unable to leave my bed, to being unbelievably happy, content and proud.
And of course, I thank God, the Universe, and the people in my life for helping me. But most of all, I thank myself for the strength to always keep going ❤️ and that's what it's about, making sure to praise yourself when credit is due 🙌🤍
