Today, I celebrate not just my age but my resilience. The last 12 months weren't clean or easy, they were days I felt stuck, days I questioned everything, and nights where I told myself I will figure it out tomorrow. Some days didn't work out, some version of me I had to let go off, even though I wasn't ready.
this year taught me how to stand up, how to fall, and how to live. I've learnt that growing doesn't always look neat and that it usually looks boring from the outside. I learnt to set boundaries without guilt, I learnt that rest isn't laziness and that saying "no" sometimes is the kindest thing I can do for myself. I learnt that being alone doesn't mean being lonely. I kept showing up, even when I didn't feel like it.
I'm proud of the little stuff, the mornings I got out of bed when I didn't want to, the moments I forgave myself for
not being perfect yet. And I really appreciate God for bringing me this far, and also, thank you Deborah for not quitting on yourself.
Happy birthday to me 🎂
