Hello, everyone! My upcoming birthday will be my first while being part of this lovely community! It's also the first birthday that doesn't mark anything other than my birthday. Allow me to explain haha

Many of you have been SO encouraging and supportive along my therapy journey, I'm eternally grateful ❤️ When I was younger, I was certain that I wouldn't make it to 25. When I made it to 25, there was no celebrating. I was just confused. So I put a deadline on myself: I'd do my best to heal and if I still didn't want to be here when I hit 30, I'd go. Last year, I hit 30 and felt no part of me that didn't want to be here. There was no new deadline set, it was just "I'm alive and I want to be and I get to make a beautiful future for myself." What an incredible feeling to actually know you have a future. So that's what I mean when I say that this birthday doesn't mark anything. It's not "one year closer to not making it to 25", "only 3 more til 30", there is no end in sight. Hopefully that makes sense haha

I am going to be 31 on June 9th. An age I never imagined I'd see but here we are, healing, experiencing, growing, meeting amazing people like the ones here 💗

Tl;dr because whyyyy do I always make long posts?? 😅: My birthday is June 9th, a month from today, and I'd like to humbly ask for birthday cards 👉👈
