 Good morning guys. It is officially my 25th birthday. So I obviously already celebrated this weekend today I'm just gonna have a chill day going to get a massage. I'm gonna go to the pool at my dad's house And then I'm going to a cooking class tonight, which I'm very excited for I'm about to leave and run a few errands actually But what it's unbox a birthday present. This is obviously from first off cheat Um, I use like birthday money and then I paid for this so it's like kind of from everyone and myself Yes, so I'm gonna tick-tock you will not be surprised. Oh my gosh this weekend was so much fun I was so tired in 12 hours guys it is Perfect, so it's this pink Versace bathrobe I would like how fabulous and then the tie is the classic pink Versace tie I mean, this is just I will be living in this. I really will be living in this Anyways, I need to get going cuz I'm kind of actually late running a bit behind this morning did my morning pages because you know We're still on the artist way. I haven't missed it in today's day eight I actually need to read the second chapter today. Also. I've been reading things you do in the dark by Jennifer Hellier Which is like pretty much my favorite thriller author and I'm just like not loving it I'm at almost 70% I will say it picked up once I like made the connection in the middle of the book But I don't know I'll finish it and let you guys know how I feel But I'm not like dying over it, you know Just picked up my Starbucks This is my order again for anyone who needs a new Starbucks order. It's really good I get an iced grande coffee to pops your vanilla. No classic with a splash of oat milk If you guys what you can screenshot it also I have it on my high that on my Instagram if you guys are ever like in a pinch, you know Then I got kale egg bites I actually got two because I thought I'd be really hungry But I drank a sip of my coffee and like now I'm on green warm, but the kale ones are really good Anyways, I'm gonna go drop off some film. I go to Garland camera It's 20 minutes away, but they give you your film back in hours. So it's worth it I'm going there and then I have to drive back To go to get my massage at the now which I'm very much so looking forward to so heading off drinking my coffee listening to Podcasts like such a good day for me, you know, yes It is my birthday technically, but it's really just like my ideal day. Oh All right guys, it's my dad Happy birthday. Oh, thanks dad. Okay back to what I was saying. Oh my gosh. Sorry guys That's what I was saying going to my massage the now so peaceful I love it now, but I cannot wait to squeeze to open up here They are coming to Dallas my favorite place and I was a solid second favorite place All right guys, I took the dogs to oh fits Thank you for that took the dogs to the pool fits has not been in the pool since he was a little pup So we're gonna go swimming today. Are you excited? Okay? No, he doesn't care. He's looking for his bestie Teddy. Teddy can't go swimming only you fits trust me You can do it. Come here, bub. He hasn't done it. Oh, hey job. I'm gonna teach you how to swim come here, bub You're gonna love the water He looks like a rat, you know, I'm sure he'll be out later Anyway, so I'm gonna relax listen to music read my Kindle and then Tonight I have class so I'll go home shower and get ready to do my hair actually so it'll be done for the next few days So I like maybe I'll order some lunch It seems as though fits is not that into the pool But I feel like normally our dogs always growing up would swim all the time And that's why they weren't allowed the newer So I just figured fits would also love it because they're all doodles. Maybe he'll get there I'll keep you guys posted. I'll let you know what he looks like right now. Oh fits, bub. Oh, wow Oh, I just put on my robe for the first time. I'm out of the shower. I'm back home. I finished the Jennifer Hillier book I honestly I wouldn't recommend which is hard for me to say because I would recommend every book of hers that I've read I Just like I didn't love it. I'm putting on a looped face mask These are the best face masks like ever I sat outside. I think I got Potentially a sun rash like a sunburn. I'll keep you posted. Okay Best face mask ever. All right. It is just so hydrating. Okay. Wow It just got a little recess in a wine glass. I'm gonna sit down and watch the toast gonna relax reply to my text messages And then I will need to get ready pretty soon eventually and I have to get ready for another green glass I'm very excited for I did just want to do a little chat very quickly. My house feels so good My room feels so good. Like it's just a good day as I've established today is my 25th birthday when I was doing my morning page this morning I was writing about this but I remember when I was even turning 19 I didn't want to turn 19 I was freaking out because for whatever reason I would really freak out every single year My birthday came around because not only am I am I an overachiever, but for whatever reason I wanted to Achieve all these things by a certain age and have all the Sun by a certain age There's something like really unrealistic and also that wouldn't have allowed me to like live the life that I currently live For example when I was 20 like the thing I wanted the most was like a group of girlfriends Who were all friends with each other and we were all really close and we try when we did everything together And I have that now whereas before I didn't have the friendships necessarily that I always had wanted I had some I obviously had certain friendships that were great It just wasn't in like they were all floaters anyways, but it's interesting because At 25 now while I do feel very accomplished I am way happier about all of the things that didn't go my way and all of the things That I didn't even think I cared enough about or wanted that badly For example besides wanting that friend group the main things I really cared about really career-wise And I will say a lot of those have happened I'm very grateful for and I am driven and I do care about that But I think I thought those were the things that were going to fulfill me and they weren't at all I talk about this on the podcast all the time the things I'm more grateful for the things that didn't work out that I thought I wanted then I am for the things that did work out like For example breakups are always pretty much a good thing friendship ending things are really hard But eventually lead you to something better like things on job opportunities that you think you wanted eventually to do something better College it didn't get into eventually lead you to something better. So, okay, really? So, okay, go go seriously. All right now at 25 one day into 25 when I'm obviously so wise And way more mature and I have grown up so much in the past 24 hours I do seriously want to say like I am the most grateful for my life. I've ever been I'm the happiest I've ever been I'm so grateful for y'all. I'm so grateful for my friends my family and Ultimately, I've realized that like those three things are what matter the most to me and not Achieving a certain milestone by a certain age And I think a lot of that pressure isn't even helpful when it comes to career stuff and also like longevity You have nothing you shouldn't work hard and you should be trying but I do think like we Something that I've shifted is thinking like oh my god I'm like excited to be 40 and I have so much time like 25 is still so young I have so much time to achieve so many other things. So while it doesn't mean to like not work hard and not focus on your career I just mean there is a lot of life ahead. You know what I mean? So anyways, I'm really grateful and I love y'all so much and I would not be living the life that I am without you guys And I really really really do love you guys. I'm really about expressing emotion So I think I don't do it enough But from the bottom of my heart like thank you guys everyone who's watching my videos for years or even if you This is your first one or listen to the podcast or whatever it is Like I'm just so unbelievably grateful for y'all. Also, there's an entire Episode solo episode one 25th birthday up on the podcast right now and there's a bonus episode this week So we have another one all about skincare But anyways, it's really grateful. I'm gonna watch the toast now and just chill am I nice for sachi rope And I'm gonna use to get ready literally every day like look at how cute.
