Happy 20th Birthday to me 😁🎁🎈🎉

Today, November 10th. Is my 20th birthday!! Instead of buying myself gifts or asking to receiving them, I’ve decided to give to those who have given to me throughout these 20 years. The materialistic things in life are nice, but kind words, actions, and love go a whole lot further. So I will be pouring my heart out to 10 people. These ten people are the most influential and inspirational people in my life thus far. They aren’t the only influences but they are in fact the most influential to date. I will show my thanks and gratitude to all ten people. One person for each day of the month leading up to my birthday. With that being said, here it goes.

1.mommy,
I love you sooooooo so so so much! Words cannot express how much I am thankful to have such a beautiful and kind hearted individual as a mother. I thank you for showing me what a woman should be. I thank you for showing me what I should and shouldn’t do as a woman. I thank you for always being there for me day and night. I thank you for putting up with my stubborn ass all these years and for those to come. :) I thank you for providing me with everything I needed on a daily basis. Thank you for always having me in your best interests. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being the best mother a child could ever ask for. Thank you for teaching me everything you know. Thank you for guiding me when I did not know the way. Thank you for showing me trust and honesty. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for always believing in me and pushing me to work harder for what I wanted. The light to my night, the calm to my storm, the queen of my world, highlight of my life. Thank you mommy.

Subconscious me, subconscious mind. Trapped in the conscious mind of me. It’s a scary place, world with no rules but filled with empty promises and insecurities. No time lost, no progression gained, trapped without a clue. Every thought a new beginning, which only seems to be the ending.
