With a hopeful heart and a gentle smile

With a hopeful heart and a gentle smile, I welcome 31 today.
Life hasn’t always been kind—there were nights I broke, days I fell, moments I questioned my worth. Yet every sunrise whispered, keep going, and I did.

Today, I honor the version of me who survived the heavy days, who held on when life felt too loud and too sharp. I celebrate my strength, my resilience, and the storms I walked through with trembling courage but unshaken spirit.

Happy birthday to me.
May this new chapter bloom with clarity, peace, love, and victories I once only dreamed of. May I continue to choose joy, even on days it feels heavy.

I move forward—braver, softer, grateful.
Here’s to 31. To growth. To becoming.
