happy birthday to my best friend. we’re coming up on three years of friendship and there’s no one else i’d rather ride or die with. if anyone knows seder, they know how lucky they are. she radiates a happiness and a positivity that is only known when you are in her presence. i’m a firm believer that if you want to be in someone’s life, you’ll make time. we have 1500+ miles, 2 hour time difference, a fiancé, a boyfriend, 3 jobs, school, and so much more between us and we’re still just as close. i am so proud of the women that we have become and are continuing to grow to be. i love you most and thank you for loving me right back. welcome to 20 🥳💛🥰
learning to be patient with myself. to know that i can’t be everywhere all the time, that it’s okay to take time for myself. that not everybody is going to like me and that’s okay. that some days are harder than others and mental illness is no joke. it’s hard to forgive yourself. it’s even harder to give myself grace when i hold myself to such a high standard. learning to breath, to talk, to take breaks, to be vulnerable. self love is hard. it’s really hard. it’s something you have to work at every day and sometimes it takes every inch of you to fight reversing all the progress you’ve made. life isn’t perfect, the internet isn’t perfect, and i’m sure as heck not perfect. but i’m trying to love me and all that i am. imperfections, insecurities, mental illness and all.
to be loved by you is my greatest gift. i am endlessly grateful for the safe space you provide me, the love you shower me with, and the laughs that never seem to stop. thank you for holding my hand, holding me up, and guiding me through. there aren’t enough words in this world to describe how much i adore you. my honey, my sweet, my boy, happy valentine’s day 🥰
