@Oratilleramadie Happy 21st, my girl! ๐ค๐ฅณ
Twenty-one. What a beautiful age.
Everyone spends their 20s chasing success, but I hope you spend yours chasing yourself. The career will come. The money will come. The right people will come. But the greatest investment youโll ever make is in the woman youโre becoming.
Your 20s are where you build the character that your 30s, 40s and beyond will stand on. Protect your name. Keep your word. Stay kind without becoming easy to take advantage of. Learn to leave what no longer serves you. Laugh loudly, travel when you can, ask questions, change your mind when you learn better, and never let anyone convince you that growing is something to apologise for.
And pleaseโฆ donโt rush. Society acts like life ends at 25. It doesnโt. If anything, it only starts making sense later.
So collect stories. Collect wisdom. Collect stamps in your passport. Collect moments that make you laugh so hard your stomach hurts. Just donโt collect unnecessary stress! It has terrible resale value.
Hereโs to a chapter filled with good health, deep peace, meaningful love, prosperity beyond what youโve imagined, and a long, beautiful life filled with purpose. May every room you walk into make space for the woman youโre becoming.
Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey. Iโll always be rooting for you.
Now go and enjoy being 21โฆ youโve got an entire decade to become absolutely unforgettable.
Happy Birthday, superstar. โค๏ธโจ
