Today was my birthday⚙️This past year feels defined by nurturing my priorities, moving more easily within internal + external trust, and deepening the connection between my discernment and my actions. I feel extremely celebrated today, thank you love you. by @silk.riot

Haven’t posted this year, figured I’d take a moment for vanity. Internally, there have been many continued reflections. For now, a scattered few to share: ⁣
⁣
I have so many thoughts on intentionality, pacing, and purpose. Thinking about mouths claiming more than the efforts of the body. The gap between what we say and what we do. Assumptions and avoidance doing nothing except a disservice to ourselves. And yet, the growing surge of (re)connection and discernment reminds me how worthwhile it is to try. ⁣
⁣
Unfurling ourselves and our connections takes time, and urgency feels out of place in that process. None of these thoughts exists outside of my own actions; I’m never absolved of working on myself, and I never want to be.⁣ by @silk.riot

haven’t posted in 2024 yet, my birthday seems like a good time to. There’s really a lot to say about the last year and its beautiful, hard-won lessons. For now, I leave you with some of my favorite pictures this year and a reminder that the link in my bio will help you donate to Khalil and family, to get them safely out of Gaza by @silk.riot

this year was a transformative one. I’ve learned so much about myself; about the distance between vulnerability and self protective walls. The way I love is vast, celebratory of depth, but hadn’t extended to myself enough. More thoughts & feelings & musings, but for now I’m feeling very held and cared for. I’m feeling proud of myself, more secure with who and how I am.⁣

Mentally I’m here: Clove (white chubby/small fat agender person with pink and purple hair, tattoos covering most of his arms, legs and top of his chest) wears big oversized sunglasses, a helmet, black boots, short black denim cutoffs, and a black tank top that reads (Strapping Young Lad). He stands in the foreground of rows of ATVs, looking forward at the camera, with mountains in the distance behind him. taken in Pastpresentfuture by @silk.riot

Today is my birthday and I’m 30!! Nearly through with my Saturn return, fully finished with my 20s; I really do feel like I’ve been walking within the aspirations of who I’ve hoped to be.

Excited for continued growth, I honor who I am in the current moment and recognize the hard work I’ve done to be more intentional w my integrity and the way I move through things.

I cherish and remain forever thankful for the abundance of love in my life. Friends, lovers, partners, your care and intentionality fuel me as does my love and purpose within myself.

Will prob share more musings, but for now I’ll be continuing my desert celebration. Love y’all!! taken in 30 Club by @silk.riot
