I turned 40 on the weekend!
Here’s a text convo I had on the day of my birthday…
Them- ’Happy Birthday! How’s 40 feel?’
Me- ‘Thank You! Fucking excellent’
Them- ‘haha great to hear! Can’t wait till I get to 40 too then’
Me- ‘I thought I’d be devo. But I’m like ‘fuck yeah, this is rad'. Can’t explain it. Just feels good’
And that pretty much sums up how I feel right now.
I feel a massive shift. It’s really hard to explain but all of a sudden I feel ready. So ready to just cut the crap, stop worrying about all the little things and move forward with my life. After so many hectic changes in the past year I am ready to just be me.
Here’s one thing I’ve really come into lately that has landed with me in an epic way.
You get to be you. People want you to be you. People don’t want a watered down version of you. They want you you. They want you to show up as you and be who you are.
People don’t want a professional you if you’re not professional.
They don’t want a non swearing version of you if you are a swearer.
They don’t want a censored version of you if you have a cooked sense of humour.
Putting on a facade to fit into a box to make sure that you come across as the way that you ‘should’ according to fuck knows who is EXHAUSTING. Being you, embracing who you are and being liberated by who you are is going to allow you the most enjoyable experience within your life.
So that leads me to this…
