Happy Birthday To Me
Today, as I celebrate
my 35th birthday, I find myself in deep reflection, not just of the years that
have passed, but of the journey I've walked to get here - every step, every
stumble, every smile, every scar.
I was born many moons
ago with a divine purpose. That purpose hasn’t been fully revealed to me yet,
but I know in my heart that God, in His perfect timing, will make it clear.
Until then, I continue to walk by faith, trusting that every experience is shaping
me for something greater.
Along the way, I’ve
loved deeply: with an open heart and without reservation. I’ve given love
unconditionally, even in moments when it was only returned with conditions. But
still, I loved. And in that, I’ve found strength: the kind that doesn't break
when things don’t go as planned.
I’ve reached
milestones I once thought were beyond my grasp. I’ve surprised myself with
resilience, with ambition, with quiet determination. I’ve had nights filled
with tears no one saw, and days filled with laughter: even when it took
everything in me to smile. But that’s life, isn’t it? A collection of moments
that break us and build us all at once.
I am profoundly
grateful for my support system- my family, my anchor, and the unwavering
foundation that grounds me. While the circle may be small, it is built on a
deep well of love, honesty, and meaningful connection.
There is one person,
in particular, who deserves special acknowledgment - someone who is far more
than just a relative. She is my sister by blood, but my closest friend by
choice. A soul who sees me for who I truly am, understands me without judgment,
and loves me unconditionally.
To my best friend —
you know exactly who you are and the special place you hold in my heart. Thank
you for being by my side over these past two years. Who would’ve thought that
one simple question could spark a bond so deep and lasting? Your presence has
been a true blessing in my life, and your understanding has brought me comfort
in ways words cannot fully express.
While I could go on
and on listing the people who have impacted my life over the years, I’ll simply
say this: you know who you are, and you know the role you’ve played. For every
gesture, every word, every moment: thank you.
I’ve experienced
incredible highs: moments of pure joy, growth, and celebration. And I’ve walked
through valleys so deep they nearly consumed me. One of those moments nearly
took my life. But I made it through. Not just surviving smiling. And in that, I
was reminded of exactly who I am: strong, courageous, and unapologetically me.
I am Bev. The
original. The unshaken. The unstoppable.
So today, I pause to
say thank you: to everyone who has been part of my story. Whether your role was
large or small, fleeting or lasting, joyful or challenging: you’ve helped shape
me, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.
As I step into this
new chapter, I carry gratitude in my heart, lessons in my soul, and hope
lighting my path. Life may not be perfect, but it is mine. And in this 35th
year, I choose to own every part of it: fully, boldly, and without apology.
