Twenty-six: my golden year. Wednesday was my birthday + ohmyword was it one marvelous
weeklong celebration with every one of my favourite people here in the PNW. I don’t usually
celebrate my birthday with anything more than a fondue dinner with my small net of friends but
there was something about turning twenty-six on the twenty-sixth that needed to be given a proper
welcoming. There was a hopeful feeling connected to my birth month this year that
promised me fresh starts, quality sleep + a restored peace of mind. Feeling sorely exhausted after a year-long quarter-life crisis, I spent most of this past month trading overtime shifts for early bedtimes, sweet tea for water + time in the library for day hikes in the outer city limits. It felt good to be turning another year
wiser + I needed to just relax, put on a shiny, sequined jacket, raise a champagne flute + let
twenty-six know how happy I was to see her arrival. If this past week was any indication for how incredible this next year is going to be, I think it is safe to say it's going to be as good as solid gold.
