my core believes that I’m taking with me in my 20s: • If I zoom out on this year and look at the past couple of years since I turned 18, I realize just how much I’ve done. And every day, I keep pushing my limits. There’s no need to prove anything to myself anymore, no need to frantically chase some kind of conclusion or finish line. I just need to be me. To feel what I feel. To take in the pleasure of just being the person I’ve become. • Your birthday is a reflection of all the strong influences and connections with people in your life. Some send their wishes, some just think of you, some truly care, and others remember a week before, and those who simply don’t care enough • On my 20th birthday, I was traveling from my my dream University to New York City, checking into a dream room with a view, paying for everything—my candles, whims, and little desires—with Moët in my bag. Thank you, life. Thank you, me. You can reach and do it all without ever expecting it to come true. • I’m convinced my superpower is turning the impossible into possible, especially when it comes to my dreams and goals. • For me, it’s a privilege and a blessing to be able to sit alone with my thoughts and be at peace with myself. I love my mindset and my inner voice. • It makes sense to me if there’s passion behind it. Any idea, any dream, or even a weird desire—it all makes sense as long as there’s that fire inside. I am excited to grow and see where the life will leas me. Let me know if any of my core believes resonated with you, or share your own with us 🫶🏼
