I've loved all the conversations about birthdays recently! 🎈💋
After hearing what a lot of you think about your own birthdays, I thought I'd share more about how I feel about mine:

Having spent most of my life abroad, I’ve met some of the most amazing people — and honestly, I feel so lucky! 😍 It’s like I traveled the world to find the best kind of friends! 🫶

The downside? They’re almost never in the same place. So, birthdays have often felt a little off — far from family, friends, and that classic idea of how you’re “supposed” to celebrate. 🤷‍♂️

And that’s the thing... I think birthdays usually come with a lot of pressure., expectations, norms, “what it should look like.” But the more I’ve reflected (and after a year of maybe one too many existential wanderings) the more I realize: what’s truly worth celebrating isn’t a date — it’s being alive.

I for one, don’t wait for one day a year to do that. I celebrate life in how I live, explore, grow, and connect. Every. Damn. Day.

But I do find my birthday to be a special reminder to live a little. ❤️‍🔥

Speaking of living it up... If you haven't seen my latest video, send me a dm and I'll send it right over! (👉🏼)
