Dear diary,

Today’s my birthday! I’ve made it to another year and I’m truly so thankful for that. I can’t believe that I’m twenty-eight, especially because I don’t feel like it mentally! Twenty-seven was definitely rough for me, but that’s because 2022 was rough for me.

There’s so much that I want for myself in this 28th year, and I technically talked about it in an annual update, but for today, I just want to celebrate making it here. When people get older, I often see them care less about their birthday but I’ll always celebrate myself because I deserve too. I deserve to have a day and moment to feel special and celebrate me.

So, happy birthday to me and here’s to more growth, self love, and more moments of self celebration!
