Taking a picture is essentially asking yourself how do you want to be remembered…

Your heart is as beautiful as your mind, and as you walk this beautiful plain we call earth, that beauty radiates in every step that you take and in every smile that you make. I credit at least half of my growth to you as I’ve learned so much from you. You’ve grown to inspire me to be better and thinking back from where I once came… I’m impressed 😆. Today you’ve gained one more year and I’m happy to be here to witness you grow into your greatness 🐘🐘🦉🦉

Aaand just like that we’re on to another year. Crazy right?! 2024 has blessed me with perspective and a deep understanding of self. I will spare you the details, but for one.. Releasing the idea of controlling external outcomes with my will and focusing that energy to my inner happiness and my fulfillment. There is an obscene level of idgaf’ness that comes over you when things don’t seem right… from your perspective at least.. Not dismissing most situations, however standing in the knowing that I’m in control of 100% me. I was able to make time for hobbies I’ve put off for years, accept new challenges and expand my experience both professionally and non. I took impromptu self holidays and had an obscene amount of date days with my lady. And finally the funny, crazy, intense, laugh til you wanna p*e memories I’ve made with my loved ones. 2024 owes me nothing, I am full.

(Just a quick, yet random thought) Because life happens, not all the time do I get to keep in touch with past clients. But every now and then I’ll have random memories of my past work with them. This one in particular, I remember this couple just eager and googley eyed to start life together, they were so in love. As I buttered my toast they randomly came to mind and I asked myself “I wonder how they’re doing?”.

The times we live in now are different from the times of our parents and grandparents. Love was sacred and something you longed for and fought to keep. Sadly, those values are not as mainstream as in the past. However, as I pour my strawberry lemonade into my glass, to those who are reading this and to this lovely couple. May you experience a love that exceeds your expectations. May you experience someone that makes you smile at the sp*ed of thought. May you hold peace, overcome and gain wisdom in hard times and may you see that you deserve love and the value within you have when you share it with someone else. Cheers, I’ll drink to that.
