today, i am celebrating 32 years on this magical earth... and i am happy. ⠀ ✨⠀ since my late 20s i have been “nervous” about growing older.... so, simply being happy today is kinda a big deal. it’s a manifestation of all of the work that i have been doing and still am. ⠀ ⠀ i am still working on living in the moment and not letting fear take over. ⠀ ⠀ i am still working on nurturing my body, as good as i can and not letting out my anger or frustration on it. ⠀ ⠀ i am still working on being patient and trusting the universe, without questioning everything, all the goddamn time. ⠀ ⠀ most of all... i am still working on trusting myself and not doubting what i am capable of. ⠀ ✨⠀ so i chose to post this photo, that was taken during my 4-day trek through the columbian jungle, in the LOST CITY of the sierra nevada, at 4920 feet, because in that moment everything i am working on, didn’t feel like “work” at all. ⠀ ✨⠀ so in case you are still reading.... i want to remind you, that whatever you are working on, don’t stop - it will get easier.
