A letter from May 04, 2026

Hey you, Happy Birthday 🎂 If you’re reading this, it means you made it to another year—and that alone is something to be proud of. I don’t know exactly what your life looks like right now, but I know one thing for sure: you didn’t give up. And that matters more than anything. I hope you’re smiling today. Not just the small kind of smile you give people, but the real one—the one that comes from feeling proud of yourself. Because you should be. Think about everything you’ve pushed through, even on days when you didn’t feel strong. You still kept going. Right now, as I’m writing this, you’re full of dreams, plans, and a fire inside you that refuses to go out. I hope that fire is still burning—maybe even stronger now. And if it isn’t? That’s okay too. You can always relight it. You always do. I hope you’ve grown. Not just older, but wiser, more confident, more sure of who you are. I hope you’ve learned to love yourself a little more and compare yourself a little less. You don’t need to be anyone else. You never did. Have you been taking care of yourself? Eating, resting, practicing, growing? I hope you didn’t forget that you matter too, not just your goals. And your dreams… are you still chasing them? I really hope you are. Even if it’s slow, even if it’s messy, even if it feels impossible sometimes. Just don’t stop. The version of you writing this believes in you so much, even on days when you struggle to believe in yourself. Also… I hope you’re a little happier now. A little freer. A little closer to the life you imagined. No matter where you are right now—whether you feel on top of the world or completely lost—just remember: you’re still in the story. This isn’t the end. There’s so much more ahead of you. So today, celebrate yourself. Even if it’s small. Even if no one else does it the way you want. Celebrate the fact that you’re still here, still trying, still becoming. I’m proud of you. Always have been. With love, You 💌
