Hey y'all 🌻
Okay, so apparently my birthday celebration needed the whole weekend because here we are on Monday. 😭😂
But 42 years old. 43rd revolution around the sun. ☀️🥂
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. 😮💨 Breath as Prayer. Ch*****ne, plums, dark chocolate almonds, puppies, and birds.
Were any of these choices congruent?
Who the hell knows? 😂
Was I happy as a damn clam?
Absa-FN-lutely. 💅🏽😂
Then I hit the beach with Disco Mami and a new friend with absolutely NO plan. 🌊☀️
And for once, my body gave ME the reins.
I danced with abandon. 💃🏽 Made new friends. Met new dogs, obviously. 🐶😂 My phone stayed in the car all day, except for one gratuitous photo shoot because I'm still the FNDiva and we have standards. 💅🏽📸
Most of my pictures came from everybody else's phones, and somehow the night ended with impromptu karaoke at a bar. 🎤😂
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. 💅🏽😂
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. 💅🏽😂
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. 🌻☀️
And THAT is how I wanted to start 42. 💛
So yes, the birthday post is late.
Apparently I was too busy actually living the birthday to post about it. 😭😂
And I'm pretty damn okay with that.
Cheers to 42, y'all. 🥂
One centimeter at a time. 🌱
