Happy Birthday

Another year is gone. But it wasn’t useless. It wasn’t hopeless. We aren’t one track people. Some of my life was sad and hopeless, but some of it was full of joy and happiness. We don’t get to only pick the fun emotions. We get them all. We don’t get to pick what is hard and what is happy. Life throws that at us and our job is to figure out how to handle and process it all. I am grateful for what I have today, and I am also grieving what I thought I’d have by age 31.
