32 🤍
My mom used to say “cada año es un nuevo capítulo y ninguno es igual” and with my most recent birthday I’ve found myself thinking about the person I used to be and all the versions of myself I’ve had to become just to make it here.
Losing both of my parents has changed something in me that I don’t think words will ever fully explain. There’s something about losing the people who raised you and loved you unconditionally that makes you look at life differently. You begin to understand how quickly everything can change. How the things you think you’ll always have aren’t promised. How one day you’re living your life, making plans, celebrating birthdays, and thinking about all the things you still have time to do, and then suddenly, life looks completely different.
One of the hardest things I’ve had to learn is that life doesn’t stop happening just because your heart is trying to catch up. The world keeps moving, birthdays keep coming, and you’re expected to keep showing up for a life that sometimes looks nothing like the one you thought you’d have.
I don’t know exactly what this next chapter will look like, and for the first time in a long time, I’m learning to be okay with not having all the answers. I just know I want to live it fully. I want to make memories, experience new things, love hard, laugh more, and give myself permission to enjoy the life I’m still lucky enough to have.
If there’s one thing losing my parents has taught me, it’s that life is too precious to spend it waiting for the perfect moment
So here’s to 32 🤍
