There She Goes: A Trip Around The Sun
Hello & Happy Wednesday!
This week happens to contain the birthday of both my partner and me. Birthdays in general tend to be a day that people either love or hate… and I love them! Perhaps not for the same reason everyone does — I love celebrating another trip around the sun and the people that made it happen. My birthday feels like an opportunity to celebrate the beautiful humans around me that have supported me and made days a little brighter ☀️.
