Love all of this, your article turning 47 really resonated with me (I turned 49 this year), isn't it an amazing thing to become best friends with yourself 💛
This is so moving, raw, brave, empowering, amazing, gentle, honest, and full of strength. You’ve captured what it means to keep choosing life, even when it’s messy, painful, or slower than we imagined.
The image of seventeen-year-old you watching from a distance, that brought tears to my eyes. “Not easier, but full of a peace we couldn’t have understood back then.” That line stayed with me.
There’s so much beauty in the way you honour where you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Thank you for writing this. For sharing your journey with such care and truth. And for reminding us that becoming someone we’re proud of is the real magic.
Wishing you a new year filled with softness, creativity, and peace that asks nothing but your presence. I turned 44 on 30th November 🎉🎂❤️❤️🩹🥰
My pleasure, my friend! Thank you, my friend, that means so much. I’m holding your words close and sending love right back as we both step into a new year. 💛❤️🥰🎉🎂
Happy Birthday I am 47 plus 13 now but I love this, the steady softness running through it, the sense of a life that’s been stitched together piece by piece.
That moment with the seventeen-year-old self really got me. It’s such a powerful thing to imagine her seeing everything you kept going for, even when you didn’t know how.
There’s a tenderness here that feels hard-won and deeply true.
Happy birthday 🎂 best of wishes! ✨✨
Thank you CoraLynn 💕
