Cheers to thirty three and always need to pee|
It’s so bizarre that as a child, I pictured 33 to be “ancient". I admit my bones are starting to feel it but mentally, I feel so ALIVE and thankful to have earned yet another year.
32 was spent tired but thankfully deliriously happy. This was the year both kids were able to (mostly) self feed which meant Tim and I could actually have a conversation during dinner. It was also the year I stepped back more to focus on the family. It has been a hectic and quiet year all at the same time.
It’s been such a remarkable year for self growth and perservation. I grew up being known as the timid pushover of the family and while I know softness is a sign of strength, 32 was the year I decided to be unapologetically me.
I spent my teen years trying to stand out while fitting in at the same time (no wonder I struggled). Then I spent my 20’s trying to understand love. Now I am in my 30’s and I am FILLED with love. I think I can understand why some people say 30’s are the best years because at this age, I know I want in life and for myself. I’ve realised that walking away from toxic people and situations is the best form of self love although not easy. My friend circle may have shrunken but my relationships have deepened. Joy is found in the smallest things. Now at 33, I understand that the most important thing I should grow and protect is my peace.
The grey hairs have started to sprout at the top of my head and the baby lines are forming at the edge of my eyes each time I crack a smile. Yet there is so much compassion and love I have for the girl staring back at it from my mirror. It’s only this year I wanted to actually celebrate my birthday you know. I never liked to make a big deal as I previously believed everyday is a birthday but you know what? We deserve to be celebrated because each year marks a milestone of lessons learnt and memories made.
What do I hope for at 33? To live simply, love fiercely and laugh endlessly.
Thank you so much for all of your birthday wishes. May we continue to celebrate one another. Like a birthday candle, the world needs your spark.
