Celebrating my 35th birthday โจ
Iโve been thinking about all the past versions of myself that got me here today - from when I was a child, to the selves Iโve shed and grew out of, the ones who held on through things I didnโt know how to name at the time. I wonder what theyโd see if they looked at me now. I hope theyโd recognize something familiar in the way Iโve always kept going ๐
Iโm proud, but more than that, I feel a quiet kind of gratitude - for the resilience that built slowly, almost invisibly, over time. For the ways Iโve learned to stay soft and strong. For becoming someone my younger self would admire and trust beyond words ๐
