After hearing what a lot of you think about your own birthdays, I thought I'd share more about how I feel about mine:
Having spent most of my life abroad, Iβve met some of the most amazing people β and honestly, I feel so lucky! π Itβs like I traveled the world to find the best kind of friends! π«Ά
The downside? Theyβre almost never in the same place. So, birthdays have often felt a little off β far from family, friends, and that classic idea of how youβre βsupposedβ to celebrate. π€·ββοΈ
And thatβs the thing... I think birthdays usually come with a lot of pressure., expectations, norms, βwhat it should look like.β But the more Iβve reflected (and after a year of maybe one too many existential wanderings) the more I realize: whatβs truly worth celebrating isnβt a date β itβs being alive.
I for one, donβt wait for one day a year to do that. I celebrate life in how I live, explore, grow, and connect. Every. Damn. Day.
But I do find my birthday to be a special reminder to live a little. β€οΈβπ₯
Speaking of living it up... If you haven't seen my latest video, send me a dm and I'll send it right over! (ππΌ)
