Birthday musings
back for a quick catchup!
Every year when my birthday rolls around, I get very nostalgic, overly sentimental, and sad that another year has passed with seemingly little significance. Thirty-THREE you say? That cannot be possible. Years ago, I envisioned life in my thirties as a wife & mom, living in a big house with a white picket fence. Isn’t that the American dream? That’s certainly what I thought the dream was, but for now I am quite content as a dog mom, condo owner, and as Jane Austen would say “no prospects.” Nonetheless, I am grateful for another orbit around the sun. There are so many things to look forward to, and I am thankful to all my IRL & online friends alike. Here’s to another year filled with many more great books, tear-inducing KDramas, and sunshine.

How do you feel about birthdays? Tell me in the comments :)
I think what you said is so relatable. The older you get the more mixed emotions you can feel, both grateful but also pondering where you thought you would be but aren't. Wishing you all the best in the year ahead. 💜
Happy Katie Lady Day!!! I was also in my feels this year for my birthday. Maybe it's just part of getting older? Being in our 30s? Anywho, cheers to us childless cat/dog ladies!
