I read somewhere that the goal is not about looking 25 in your 40s, but to make 25 year olds excited for how good 40s look 🖤

Scenes from my 40th celebration 🎂🎈

Milestone birthdays like these can feel a little intimidating, but stepping into this new decade feels a lot less scary when I’m surrounded by so much love.

I am unequivocally blessed to have the most incredible people in my corner. Ones who have supported me through every chapter, helped shape the woman I am today, and who I know will be there for the woman I am still becoming.

Thank you to my incredible village for celebrating with me, for loving me, and for reminding me just how truly lucky I am ❤️

A big thank you to @createandso for helping me preserve these memories forever 💕
