Happy birthday from me today to the boy of yesterday.
Thanks for being who you needed to be in order to survive.
Thanks for standing in place for me so that I could arrive.
In 27 years I’ve been a foster parent, in the military, an owner of multiple businesses, homeless, lived in Mexico for 2 years, faced felony charges, traveled out of the continent multiple times, taken care of others instead of taking care of myself, stressed depressed wanting to end it all more times than I can count
Yet I survived.
For every day I thought I could not possibly wake up and survive another day, there was another filled with hope and purpose. Somehow everything is gonna fall into place as long as we keep walking.
Thank you to all of the past versions of me that held strong in the midst of starving for love, I’ve finally found it in abundance within and I’ll never let myself go without it for another day.
You are loved and worthy and deserving of every ounce of joy the universe places at your feet. Those that say otherwise are hurting so deeply they wish for you to hurt alongside them, remember to treat them with love and compassion.
Thanks friends and family for being pillars of support, reminders, and mirrors for me, it gave me the strength to face the grief and darkness within and find out it’s not so scary in the dark after all.
I wouldn’t trade one day of my past pain or experiences for the joy of today.
On a more serious note tho I’m selling feet pics for my birthday
