Birthday Girl!

Monday, November 9, a queen was born!

I just celebrated my birthday, and I've officially entered my late 20s. Which means I'm officially old.

On my previous birthday, I wrote a little letter to myself because that year was one of the toughest I've ever been through (and I pray it stays that way). I reflected on all the trials and tribulations it brought me, but this ode is going to be a bit different.

I am super grateful for the last year of my mid-20s, as it taught me a great deal, and honestly, it was the most beautiful age I've ever experienced. I had so much fun. I accomplished several goals, hit major milestones, and felt genuine happiness. I'm genuinely thankful for it all.

I thank God for closing that chapter of my mid-20s with so much beauty and grace. I thoroughly enjoyed that year and everything it brought me.

As I step into this new chapter, I'm praying for more success, health, wealth, happiness, joy, love, and all-around blessings. I thank God for everything and will continue to let Him lead, walking faithfully in His footsteps.

Cheers to the late 20s! 🥂

P.S. I celebrated at a jazz restaurant in Flatiron, and the staff were so sweet. They sang to me, brought out cake and candles, and made me feel so special. I am grateful for my friends; this was the first birthday I've spent without family, and they truly made me feel loved. I'm beyond thankful for the gifts, the love, and everyone who reached out to wish me a happy birthday.
