Today, I celebrate me. I celebrate who I was, who I am, and who I will become. I celebrate my thoughts, decisions and accomplishments. My wants, my needs, my goals. I celebrate how far I have come and my will and motivation to keep going. I celebrate my wisdom, perspective and contributions. My intentions and my efforts. I celebrate my peacekeeping tendencies and my yearning to tell it like it is. I celebrate my mind, my heart and my soul. I celebrate my body – my nice ass, my stretch marks and my curves. I celebrate my kind heart and my foul mouth. My resilience and stubbornness. I celebrate sticking to my gun when it’s important and flowing with change when needed. I celebrate my gifts, my abilities and my quirks. My strengths and weaknesses. I celebrate my confidence and my insecurities. I celebrate my truth.
I celebrate all of me. Every piece of me.
Happy Birthday to me. 32 trips around the sun. 32 years of discovering and transforming. 32 years of growth and experience. 32 years of trying, failing and getting back up to try again. 32 years of learning, purging, and relearning. 32 years of letting go and moving forward lighter. 32 years of feeling everything with all of my being and loving with all of it too. 32 years of love and laughter, sadness and anger, excitement, joy and jealousy, happiness and pride, disappointment, guilt and bliss. Here’s to my 32 years.
