Low key tryna spot where I dropped my dignity over the weekend. Let's just say... birthday shenanigans were LIT😆☺🔥

⬆ Actual mood after the Malay style birthday this week (I ain't done though, gotta get a lil litty over the weekend too obvs). I've literally had the BEST couple of days, surrounded by my favourite people and checking out some of my favourite places - have pretty much ate my way through 26 so far 🤣 Thanks to all the treats that have taken such good care of me, my heart is bursting with happiness RN 💛 📸: @ashleaflack 🖤

The last couple of days of being 25 I've been reflecting on the last quarter century and the next one I'm about to venture into. All that's been pulsating through me is pure gratitude for the life I live. First of all, I'm super lucky that I've chosen the people in my life and that they've chosen me back. I'm surrounded by some of the smartest, sweetest and strongest individuals I'm proud enough to call friends, and you're the reason I feel balanced and sane half the time, so thank you for tolerating my ass. Secondly, I live in possibly the most beautiful city in the world, and it's really only this year that I've taught myself to stop to soak it all in. You can get distracted in the rush hour traffic and forget to look up at the insane beauty we're spoilt with, but absorbing a little slice of that everyday does something for your soul. Lastly, I'm hella happy my headspace is where it's at. I haven't had an easy journey, but it's been one where I've learnt that the only person I need to answer to is myself, and yet still hold myself accountable for being gentle and kind to those that haven't been able to treat me (or themselves) in the same way. I'm nervously excited about the next year, I have a really good feeling about all the possibilities it holds, and which ones I'll sieze. Let's hope that hunch is right😊 Happy Sunday humans, go out there and spread some love 💛
