Happy Birthday, girl!! I'm 64 and I'm still learning all the brilliant things on your list. You are wise.

To quell birthday anxiety, I do the same thing every year. Something I love that i KNOW makes me happy. Sometimes I go with one person, sometimes a handful of friends. It's a Yankee game. I love never having to worry or wonder what I'm going to do. I hope all your wishes come true . xxoxox

Happy birthday, though belated! ;)

I'm 16, about to turn 17, and I've been through a lot despite my young age. However, now that I say it like this, it sounds like I'm bragging.

Your article is really cool, and I plan to write one as well. Is there any way I can credit you beyond just linking to your account?

adding on 14; take your time to react and absorb the situation, its so much easier said than done. I feel like i have observed the benefits and tried to condition my brain to weigh the pros of this and act; but its so easy to fall into the ways you have always known
