When I was younger I used to wonder what my life would look like when I got older. I didn't have very big dreams then and only wanted a simple life, I could only hope my life was worth living despite whatever was happening at every point of my life.
Now I'm living the years I was curious about and I'm always so grateful. I go through a lot and it's sometimes hard letting myself feel certain emotions because I guilt-trip myself for daring to not be thankful for life always.
Honestly, life is good to me, sometimes I feel like I was handpicked to suffer but I can't deny how blessed and lucky I am in entirety.
It's my birthday today and for lack of better words, I'm very happy I'm not sad today. I'm happy for all that I am and all that I will be in the coming days, years. My younger self would be happy with how I'm doing now and I bet she's going to be even happier future versions of me.
The best part about growing up is the chance to refine yourself over and over, and I absolutely love that I get the chance to do that.
It's almost midnight as I type so my 24 hours of fame has come to an end, it was fun while it lasted. I'd have sworn I'd never wear a shirt with my face on it, but my husband's got jokes, I had to do it and I loved it.
