My birthday has always been a great source of anxiety and depression since I was a child. The excitement of wanting to celebrate and then plans that fall through have been a recurring theme. Yesterday I was crying because I knew what today was. It's the big 43 today and for the first time in a long time I feel like celebrating. All the beautiful messages, texts and shout outs I have received all day have carried me throughout the day and reminded my why I love my bookstagram friends so much. I appreciate every single one of you who made room in your busy day for me or even sent me a gift of love. I feel so spoiled by my family and bookstagram community. I've seen people do special posts for their birthdays about facts, impactful books, etc so let's do this. Ask me a question and I will tell you no lies. #birthdaypost #Happybirthday #books #bookcarts #shelfie #birthdaygifts #bookstagram #bookdragon #bookstagramlove #booksbooksbooks #bibliophile #bookworm #bookish #bookstalove #booksandchill #booksathome (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLalbxKAJto/?igshid=192x3kcha67vu
