@annsvan: You know how brides are always posting their wedding for days after the wedding? I never got to do that, so I’m doing it here. I’m that girl. I threw myself a 43rd birthday party because, I finally felt like I deserved to honor myself. Because I finally stopped crying and finally celebrated. Because I’ve never had a wedding, and I’m not having a baby… so everybody drink! 🥂 Throw that party. Buy that fancy dress. Make yourself a gourmet meal. Don’t get it twisted. I’ve spent many birthdays crying, alone, and planning birthdays for friends to not come to. This year I took a different approach… I wrote a list of everyone in my life that really helped get me to 43. And I invited them to a party… and I celebrated them. I made sure not to get in my feelings if people couldn’t make it and when there weren’t many RSVPs at first. I made sure I knew that even if only 5 people could come… I was still worthy. So plan that party. Don’t wait. And celebrate the people closest to you, even if it’s only 2 of them. #imnothavingababy #thisis43 #fyp
