Birthdays have always been a complex mix of emotions for me, but this year, I'm choosing to focus on gratitude. As I turn 23, I acknowledge the feelings of sadness, fear, and anxiety that have accompanied my past birthdays. I've felt unable to celebrate in the way I've always wanted, worried about growing older without achieving my dreams, and ashamed of not meeting societal expectations. However, I've learned to reframe these emotions and find contentment, patience, and appreciation for the journey. Today, I'm thankful for my life, my purpose, and the opportunities ahead. I'm grateful for my loving family and friends, who make every day brighter. I'm embracing my growth and celebrating the beauty of my unique path. Here's to another year of self-discovery, progress, and shining my light!"🥂
I'm in my growing and glowing era. 23 and not for everybody!!
