I used to hate my birthday.
I had a hard time trusting people growing up and expected all my relationships to end eventually. I was afraid of asking others to show up for me. I was anxious about having a perfect day. This birthday, I felt content. I was present and unafraid. I've worked really hard on my relationships and I knew they would show up for me. It doesn't feel vulnerable or scary anymore. The community I have here is what makes this place home. It is what makes me want to stay, to continue watering myself and letting my roots grow.
Thanks for stopping by. ♡
To my friends, thank you for sticking around and loving all versions of me as I continue to grow and heal. You are what keeps me going. You bring play into a life of hard truths. I love you.
