Happy Birthday…


The final countdown is here, 2 more days left until I change the page and enter the next phase of ‘adulting’. I’ve already shared how there have been hard times and some tough but valuable lessons throughout my 20s, but there have also been some great experiences that have shaped me into the person that I am today. I’ve discovered wonderful things about myself and I’ve also had a lot of moments that are worth celebrating.

The biggest celebration is for the self-discovery that was made. For pursuing my soul journey. I started sharing this experience 5 years ago after turning 25 and I can’t wait to share the remainder of this journey. I’m on the path of falling madly and utterly in love with myself. This will take time, but at least I now know that the greatest love one can ever have is the love they feel towards themselves.

I also want to celebrate all the victories won when death came knocking at the door of my family members. So many visits to hospitals, but we somehow got through it. I pray that there will be less hospital visits and less interactions with death. Though I understand that loss is part of life and change is inevitable.

Another huge win is finding my tribe, the people that I have managed to find and connect with amongst the billions of people that are walking this planet right now. I’ve been so fortunate to find some really great, wonderful souls who are full of wonder and who hold up mirrors for me in so many ways. So grateful for the people who have been there and who continue to be there.

I’m grateful that I found home again, that I found a partner that I would like to build a future with and that I am working on healing all the parts of me that didn’t know they deserved better at the time.

I’m going to continue to work on my perspective and belief systems, I want to let go of the memories that don’t serve me and develop more and more hope each day. I want to laugh more often, be at peace with myself and continue to discover all the different parts of me that I’ve not yet met.

Oh and I also want to dance more than I have. All the time, in the bathroom, living room, kitchen and anywhere I possibly can.

Happy birthday to anyone sharing this day with me. I hope that you find your own sense of healing and peace in what has been a very unusual year. Don’t forget that you will be able to get through anything that life throws at you and that things will always get better.

Dare to hope.

Love yourself.

Love Always,

M
