such a gorgeous post to read! Will be returning to these lists of happiness <3 also this really hit home and is a mentality I have yet to shake "At one point, and I think it’s this point, age starts becoming less of a number and more of an invoice on what you’re supposed to have accomplished."

happy birthday ! I wanted to participate ☺️ things that make me happy: romance novels, playlists, when spotify shuffle is actually good, the ocean, surfing, tattoos, film cameras and the unknown pictures, the excitement and patience of getting the film developed, becoming close friends with strangers in a quick meeting, compliments that surround me as a person and not what I look like, allowing myself to trust, the nervous excitement of trying, the sun, long walks, flowers, animals, writing, comfort movies, laying in bed when you have no obligations, rest, the nap/but not-nap of letting your mind quiet when doing nothing or meditating, raspberry chocolate croissants, coffee mugs, hot lattes, iced lattes, chocolate chip cookies, angel numbers, when the universe sends you signs, astrology, tarot, pinterest, gang of youths, punk music, afrobeats, girly pop, a delicious meal shared with others or myself, reading a magazine, blog or article, when I see other people trying, air-dry clay, skateboarding, pink canyon rollerball perfume, coconut vanilla scents, long curly hair, leaving my phone at home, laying in the grass, laying by the pool, catching up with old friends, crystals, jewelry, inspirational quotes, puzzles

Happy birthday! I hope it is a fantastic year. I definitely felt like I had a lot of growth after 25 (and yes the frontal lobe development haha)
