31 💙 ✨
Growth isn’t always a straight line. Sometimes you fall, things get messy, and you just have to figure out how to get back up and keep going. I’m still figuring things out but I guess that’s what getting older is all about, doing your best, making mistakes, learning from them and hoping you’re doing something right 🤓& this year has taught me soooo much.
But at the end of the day, no matter that happens, all I can do is be accountable for myself and ask...am I becoming the person I want to be?
And honestly? I like me.
I know there will always be something new to learn, something to work on, and ways to grow. But at my core, I’ve always been and will forever be Desiree.
The one who cares deeply.
The one who cries.
The one who finds joy in other people’s laughter and happiness.
The one who cackles way too loudly (and I mean LOUD).
The one who sees the good in people.
The one who loves fully and not in secret.
The one who's honest.
The one who's mood gets instantly better when pasta is involved.
The one who goes on adventures.
The one who overthinks.
The one who orders another shot of tequila (even though I probably should have left the bar hours ago).
& I’m not afraid to keep being that person.
No matter how many years go by. No matter how many people try to dim my light. No matter how much life changes me. Being myself, unapologetically is the only way I truly want to live.
So here’s to 31 and the start of libra szn ♎️🥂✨ To growing, learning, letting go, becoming, and never losing the parts of myself that make me, me.
Xoxo,
Desiree
