Happy 43rd birthday to me 🎂🎉🎊🥳🎁🎈🍰 I have the urge to pour myself out in this caption but for the sake of too much openness and understanding what it's like talking into a voided space I will just say, I'm alive. I've started sewing again in 42 for survival, I've built and opened another store location through everything that has happened, God saw me through. I've stepped up for my parents, while also having to humble myself to a place of being unrecognizable. I wish these all were good things but they are just things. I'm reminded now of who I can depend on. I'm finally recognizing I don't have boundaries and I need that for my soul. I'm not close to where I want to be, life is not going how it's supposed to (how I think it's supposed to at least). I'm hanging on to every good moment like a security blanket to keep me covered from the other constant moments. God is good, God is present, God is showing himself. God is working on me This is 43 (Now imagine if I poured my soul out what this would all say lol) Photos by @jrdn.smith Suit by @franklinandanthony Location @fa_haberdashery
