It’s my birthday week, so it has me reflecting on the complicated relationship with this day that so many of us have. 🎂
There can be wonderful and hard memories associated with our birthdays. ❤️🩹
It can also be a time to reflect on where we’re at in life, which might bring satisfaction or sadness (and often both) depending our expectations for growth, what we’ve lost, or not yet discovered. 🎁
It can also be a time where we feel most valued and celebrated by others and/or when we feel most disappointed and alone.🎉
I encourage you to incorporate space for fun and celebration on your birthday, while holding space for all the other feelings that come up. ✨
During times of celebration it’s okay to have fun and be sad, feel joy and loneliness, and be grateful and disappointed. ❤️
