Yesterday I celebrated my birthday eating OUTSIDE and it felt so good! We have a little less restrictions here in Germany, but I was surprised to see so many people shopping. After 6 weeks of staying in, I had a reality check celebrating my birthday.
I know it’s so cliché for women to complain about aging. Especially when approaching the scary 30’s. People say your life really start in your 30’s. Is that true? Cuz I all see is uncertainty. I have no clue what I’ll be doing in 3 years.
I’m at that age where I’m supposed to find a husband, get married and have kids. At least, that’s how my mother wants it. She’s been harassing me about having kids for about 4 years already ! That same woman who thought maybe I was gay when I stayed single for 3 years. Always cracks me up.
There are so many things I want to accomplish before I settle down. When I say I want to see the world, I fucking mean it. I didn’t study languages and intercultural communication to just keep it to myself.
I now have a partner that I love with all my heart. But with or without him, I will follow my dreams. Isn’t that something to wish for your child, before you wish for them to get married ?
I also want to start a business in Africa, go on a V.I.E, learn new languages, live abroad for a couple of years. Everybody knows these things are harder to achieve when you settle down.
Plus I am only now actually getting to know myself. And I am so thankful for this journey into discovering who I really am : one pretty amazing human being. And that has nothing to do with my weight, my height or my intelligence. I know that I am great because I am me.
Maybe that’s one good reason to celebrate my birthday, despite crazy Covid-19. I am grateful to be alive, when so many people are dying.
Happy fucking birthday to me !
How are y’all celebrating your birthdays during this pandemic?
