It’s my birthday! I don’t have much to share today except all of my love and gratitude for the life I’ve built and the people who have supported me through it.
In the last two weeks I’ve: run the furthest I’ve ever ran, learned to swing dance, rolled my ankle, had my car broken into, talked on the phone for hours with old friends, talked face to face for hours with new friends, photographed a beautiful wedding, downed a god awful shot of tequila, given myself a black eye (using that term loosely) trying to place a bowl on a high shelf, had my license plate stolen, sent friends off to Seattle and welcomed friends in from Seattle, hung and held my first art show, rode around on a boat, jumped into a river, felt very very loved <3
23 was far and away the best year of my life. I look back on the mishaps and the lows and I laugh, and I look back on the joys and the happy memories and I cry. Thank you for whatever part you’ve played - even and especially if it’s just reading these every week. It means the world to me that this little stage I’ve chosen to stand on is one you continue to watch.
I’ll leave you with the birthday wish I have for myself every year:
That you are safe to be whoever you want to be today. Even if it’s different from who you were yesterday, or who people have to come to expect you to be.
Much love,
Jordan
