This is a reflection of my thoughts as I celebrate my birthday tomorrow. For me, my birthday is a time when I remind myself about how much I have to be grateful for. It's a day where I think about the good I have been given. Each birthday is an opportunity for me; an opportunity for reflection... for introspection... and for connection, a chance to look inside myself and see where I want to be and to take steps to get there. I’ve been alive for years now, it was a long bumpy road. I’ve had some ups and unfortunately quite a lot of downs. Throughout those years I’ve learned about myself and who I really am. It took me some time to understand myself but eventually i accepted that person wholeheartedly. And now, there is nothing but self-love. Happy birthday to me in advance
