Hey y'all ๐ป
Okay, so apparently my birthday celebration needed the whole weekend because here we are on Monday. ๐ญ๐
But 42 years old. 43rd revolution around the sun. โ๏ธ๐ฅ
And after one hell of a tough revolution, I knew exactly how I wanted to start this one:
JOY.
Meds. Breathing treatment because apparently these lungs still have opinions. ๐ฎโ๐จ Breath as Prayer. Ch*****ne, plums, dark chocolate almonds, puppies, and birds.
Were any of these choices congruent?
Who the hell knows? ๐
Was I happy as a damn clam?
Absa-FN-lutely. ๐
๐ฝ๐
Then I hit the beach with Disco Mami and a new friend with absolutely NO plan. ๐โ๏ธ
And for once, my body gave ME the reins.
I danced with abandon. ๐๐ฝ Made new friends. Met new dogs, obviously. ๐ถ๐ My phone stayed in the car all day, except for one gratuitous photo shoot because I'm still the FNDiva and we have standards. ๐
๐ฝ๐ธ
Most of my pictures came from everybody else's phones, and somehow the night ended with impromptu karaoke at a bar. ๐ค๐
No itinerary. No expectations. No trying to make myself fit into anybody else's idea of what life is supposed to look like.
Just letting the day become whatever the hell it wanted to be.
And you know what?
We're not being small anymore.
I'm living BIG. I'm taking up space. I'm dancing when my body lets me dance. I'm changing the plan when it doesn't. I'm saying yes to the unexpected. I'm letting joy be loud.
And whatever about me feels too big for somebody else?
They can choke on it. ๐
๐ฝ๐
I'm not making myself smaller so somebody else can swallow me easier.
Because apparently one centimeter at a time can eventually teach you how to live really FN big. ๐
๐ฝ๐
I'm choosing joy. I'm choosing my Creator. I'm choosing Nysi. I'm choosing peace. And I'm really damn excited to see what this 43rd revolution has waiting for me. ๐ปโ๏ธ
And THAT is how I wanted to start 42. ๐
So yes, the birthday post is late.
Apparently I was too busy actually living the birthday to post about it. ๐ญ๐
And I'm pretty damn okay with that.
Cheers to 42, y'all. ๐ฅ
One centimeter at a time. ๐ฑ
