44.
Birthdays always make me take stock — what was, what is, and what’s to come. In your 40s, those three sometimes blur together… or even pull in different directions. It’s a strange and beautiful liminal space — standing at the crossroads of who you’ve been, who you are, and who you’re still becoming.
I’ve learned to sit in that space with gratitude — for the love I have from family and friends, for the love I’ve learned to have for myself, and for the balance I’ve been able to build over time.
Life still has its ups and downs, but I feel fortunate to have love, perspective, appreciation, and curiosity for it.
So as I take another trip around the sun, Here’s to embracing it all — the past that shaped us, the present that grounds us, and the future that calls us forward.
