Happy birthday to me! 23 years on this planet (and counting), and I am still feeling like a toddler in many ways. Being in your young 20s is difficult and fun, fun and difficult. This birthday for me was a little bit different. I actually took the time to think about what I wanted my day to look like, and with what attitude I wanted to approach this day. It wasn't like the big birthday bash I threw in middle school or the chaotic bar crawl my summer abroad in Copenhagen - it was chill, and most importantly, it brought me happiness with a bittersweet garnish. Birthdays are always bittersweet. Sometimes they just plain suck. But actually enjoying your birthday can be more in your hands than you thought. Enjoy this birthday episode and happy birthday to all the July birthdays out there!
