Hey Younger Me…
You probably wouldn’t believe who we’ve become. But I wanted to take a moment, on this birthday, to look back and say thank you!
Thank you for fighting through the tough days, even when no one was watching. For carrying the weight, for pushing forward when quitting looked easier. You didn’t have it all figured out, neither do I, but you had the heart. You had the grit. And that’s what got us here.
You made mistakes? Yes! But every wrong turn taught us something worth knowing. Every scar became a reminder that we’re built to survive. You built the foundation I’m standing on now; steady, wiser, calmer, and finally at peace with who we are.
At 40, I don’t chase validations anymore. I don’t need to prove I’m strong not because I never fall, but because I always rise. I’ve learned that real strength isn’t loud. It’s the quiet confidence that comes from knowing your worth, choosing your peace, and walking your own path.
So here’s to you, the young man who started this journey, and to me, the man you grew into. We’ve earned every line, every lesson, and every victory.
Happy 40th birthday to us. We made it. And the best part? We’re just getting started. 🥂
