Today I turn 40. I’m pretty ok with it. I’ve decided being and ‘adult’ is a term squares came up with to hide the fact they have no personality. I dont have the things these squares think I should or act the way they think I should but what I do have is a good life. I have a wonderful family, we have all put in the work to make our relationships good. My sister @jenwardle is my best friend. I have a little bit of sadness today because I know my mum would have been delighted to see her baby turn 40. She knew she wouldn’t see it so made my last birthday as special as possible... I also have my friends, they are amazing, especially @malikarose and @debbalke and I’m happy in my work place @truelovetattoo_brisbane All these things make me feel content, even with this clusterfuck of a global pandemic. I usually do an unsolicited advice bit for my birthday post so here it is... just fucken chill and be kind. Start by being kind to yourself. I struggled for a long time with feeling worthless. I find being kind to people, small acts of kindness towards others and trying to make other people feel ok helps me find a sense of worth. I don’t expect anything in return, that’s never going to work out is it. Try to get out of your head, if you conduct yourself with integrity you are untouchable. Sure people will always make judgements but if you know you are truly being your best self they can’t touch you. Be good, be kind and be patient, with yourself and others. That is all. Enjoy your lives and this day 💚 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAWeNINlb_E/?igshid=1lx97cwq8t7h8
