This. is. 30. (!!)

Probably my most emotional birthday I’ve ever had, and ironically, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and I feel immensely loved and supported.

Lately, there have been a few times I’ve looked back at older photos and for the first time thought, “oh - you look different now”, and just cried — mourning a certain consistency I thought was there but had actually drifted away like sand through your fingers.

This rite of passage beautifully marks the end of many things, but also the beginning for so much more. Turning this corner, I look back and realize I’ve achieved, traveled, and performed so much more than I could have ever dreamed of. I’m proud of myself, and I think 20 year old me would be too.

10 years ago, I was studying in Spain, filming my life there, and falling so in love with my new friendships and innocent experiences, that it forever altered how I saw the world, setting me on a course that I’m forever grateful for.

A few years later, I found the other piece of my heart, who has profoundly enveloped me with so much love, support, and encouragement. From the first moments we met, I not only knew — my soul remembered. The prayers I had prayed as a child for someone like him, suddenly here, manifest. As if we had come together after thousands of iterations of lives, now again finding each other here in this life like clockwork. I love you with my everything.

When I look down this next path of my 30s, I can see future me(s) there with encouraging, open arms. Kinder to myself, more gentle, more open, yet almost more certain and more steadfast.

I’m grateful to be here, and I’m excited to continue creating and exploring this world, and myself among it. Of these things, I’m most excited to grow my family with my love. It will most certainly be the capstone for me this next decade. Thank you for being here with me on this journey.
