Hello, everyone. Hope you're all having a wonderful day. Mine has been pretty good even though i barely went out to take the dogs for a while. I talked with my mom, dad and sisters and that's more than enough to have a nice birthday, also i was lucky enough to spend the day with my special person and our dogs. How could i want more?
I've been thinking today about what really matters to me and at the end of the day it's all about LOVE in all of its forms and i feel lucky to have that in my life. It hasn't been easy but i still consider myself a very lucky person.
I decided to use a picture of me when i was about 9 years old cause i really like that one. I used to be all smiles, which is weird cause nowadays i rarely smile on pictures even though i consider myself a happy person, i'm just very introvert and i enjoy being at home with dogs, i'm not really someone who goes out a lot. In a way i feel like i'm still that same little boy and i'm proud of what i've become and looking forward to what's next.
This birthday feels a little different for me cause i do not feel the need (at all!) to post pictures on Instagram, i just wanted to relax and wear some comfortable clothes and make my own cake which i will later. The more i grow up the more i want simplicity in my life, it's all about these small things that we take for granted sometimes, but i'm still learning to appreciating them more and be present in the moment, which is also key for me to overcome anxiety. Trying to stay in the present, not in the past which causes depression, but also not in the future which causes anxiety.
I'm not sure if there's a God, but i do know there's something out there, an energy that's larger than life, call it God if you want, for me it's all about LOVE and today i feel gratitude for all i have and who i am.
Hope there's a lot more birthdays in the future and hopefully one with my family reunited in the near future.
Until next time,
ANDY.
