🎂 Thirty-𝖋𝖎𝖓𝖊 🦇 

Birthdays are a strange time, it’s impossible to not reflect on the past year and usually, I think of all the things I’ve failed at. Your thirties are an especially strange time (especially when your early thirties were lost to a pandemic) because the world tells you that you need to have it figured out. Well, I can say with certainty that I feel no different than I did at 25 or even 30. You really are as old as you feel and I feel like I’m just getting started. 

And hey! At least I made it on the planet longer than most the historical people I research so there’s that. 😂

Here’s to another year around the giant fireball in the sky - more adventures, new friends, crazy memories and hopefully some big opportunities that help me feel like less of a failure LOL. 

Happy birthday to me and being thirty *fine*- because if I can’t celebrate myself, who will? And if you’re feeling like celebrating in my honor? Enjoy a glass of wine or a pint of Guinness and we can toast from afar! 

XO - M 💋
