Dear Tash,
Each year comes with its challenges, but this one my dear, this was the one that was instrumental in propelling you to your higher self.
You thought that after 33, things couldn't get much worse, but 34 had some plans for you:
-Plans to break you apart and put you back together again
-Plans to show you the value of the people in your life
-Plans to show you that moving forward means shedding old ways and adopting new ones.
-Plans to make you look at yourself through the eyes of another
-Plans to hear hard truths about your ego, and plans to crush said ego and teach you the importance of relying on something/someone other than yourself
-Plans to show you that sometimes the thing you don't want is exactly the thing you need most
-Plans to teach you that some people are worth it
-Plans to show you that some friendships have expiration dates.
-Plans to teach you when to be a supportive friend and when to give tough love, but to do it with kindness
-Plans to teach you to lead with love
-Plans to teach you that love doesn't hurt
-Plans to help you re-learn everything you thought you knew about love
-Plans to teach you not to settle
-Plans to teach you the art of surrender
-Plans to teach you how to trust yourself
-Plans to show you that it's ok to change your mind
-Plans to show you that there's always a bigger purpose to not getting what you want
-Plans to help you open your heart again
-And finally, plans to remind you that no matter how bad things get, this too shall pass.
Happy Birthday,
Your 35 year old self
