Hello everyone,

I hope you've been super special awesome since we've last spoke.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who sent me happy birthday wishes yesterday. I usually spend time with my family every year and for the first time in years, I had several people wish me happy birthday who weren’t part of my family, so it was a nice surprise. My day started off weird yesterday, but I ended up having a really nice night with my family yesterday.

 I feel like things are going to change a lot moving forward. I’m currently learning to be more appreciative and grateful for the small things and not taking some things for granted in the midst of all this chaos in my life. I have a few plans and goals that I plan to slowly enact starting next month and I hope to complete them in the next few years as I approach a big milestone. 

This morning as I reflect upon yesterday, I realize how much these small gestures from others mean to me. It wasn’t the well wishes, but the connections I felt even from the people who I don’t speak to often. I would like to start reaching out more and build stronger relationships with people online and especially in real life again, both new and old. 

I’m also getting some help to work through some difficult challenges at this time. I'm thankful for these people. I have several qualms with things in real life and online with people that I wish to work through. I don't want to have these problems anymore and I just want to be myself. Honestly, I'm tired of these issues. It really makes me feel like I don't want to be here anymore. As in here, I mean in this predicament. So I’m focusing on growth and positivity. I want to set some new intentions and create more meaningful changes in my life. I want to make each and every day count. I may be limited in some aspects, but I’m not limited in hope and creativity. And maybe in this process, I might fail a few times while I do this, but so what? I do it on my terms.

Look! I'm rambling again, but you know what? Maybe I'll do it again.

Thanks again to everyone who made my birthday feel special again even if it was just saying a simple “happy birthday” and for being part of my life’s journey. A wise man once told me “It’s the little things that count”. 

Here’s to new beginnings and wonderful times ahead.

Your friend,

Starlight Serenade

I hope this post is legible as I wrote this in G-docs as I felt inspired to write this as I was working on a project at the same time. For some reason I cannot edit the bold or the times new roman font, so I apologize if it's difficult to read for some users.

If it's perfectly fine to read - awesome sauce XD
