I find comfort in the awareness that genuine beauty comes from inside, which I am able to experience during the peaceful moments of isolation. It is the gleam that appears in my eyes when I laugh with all of my heart, the warmth that emanates from my grin when I provide assistance, and the resiliency that flows through my veins with every stride that I take. On this day, which is also my birthday, I celebrate not just the passage of time but also the road of self-discovery that has brought me to this point in time.
To that end, here's to another year of personal development, of loving oneself, and of appreciating the beauty that comes from inside it. Not only am I the sum of my parts, but I am also the culmination of my experiences, my dreams, and my unbreakable spirit at this moment in time. Happy birthday to me! Today, I make the decision to love myself with absolute ferocity and without any apologies, because I am beautiful in ways that go beyond the confines of the conventional standards that society has established.
