As my birthday approaches in a few days I have been thinking a lot about what I want to do to celebrate. It has been a particularly hard year for me, it has felt like one life altering tragedy after another. My 30th year was the year I had to face the mortality of my parents when we found out my mom had cancer, the reality of having a partner lose a parent, and the loss of a truly special dog. I had to witness my partner battle illness and have surgery. I had to fight for health insurance after being denied by three insurance companies because I have a bipolar diagnosis on my medical record. I had to adjusty body to getting up at 4am every day, and balance my mental health without access to a mental health professional. On top of all of my personal trials also living through constant global, political, and cultural turmoil. As I go into my 31st year I want to be selfish for a day. I don't feel like I deserve anything, but it would truly make my heart feel a little more healed if this year my birthday felt special.
