September 19th I celebrated bringing in the 23rd year of life.

A year ago I spent my birthday crying because I had no friends and had to celebrate alone. In just a year, I've made phenomenal friends that planned a surprise birthday excursion that included a photo shoot, dinner and karaoke. I had a blast and was overwhelmed because I realized that my new friends we truly and answered prayer.

Just a few weeks in and I already feel a shift in my life. I'm seeing more of my parents in myself and learning my worth. It's scary but dope and...yeah... I'm blessed.
