birthdays

Birthdays are always so weird right? We want to celebrate ourselves and grow up feeling the extremes of loving ourselves aka letting our ego fight for what it thinks we deserve and being told to be humble and so we feel like we don’t... deserve... to celebrate.

We want people to know but then we don’t want to have to tell them. If they’re normally not nice and nice on our birthdays it’s like ‘well it’s because it’s my birthday’ and if they don’t know and are mean then we’re like ‘and it’s my birthday 🥴😭🥺😩 how could they?’ So many mixed emotions.

And then there’s who will remember? And what will they say? It’s always people you know and love and then a bunch of random people that you would never expect to remember - kind of like the people that used to text me happy New Years. It becomes less and less over the years though I must say. And the ones we hope remember or know that don’t, we just rationalize it - ‘they are a good friend on all the other days, I know they care.. right?’ Have you ever had anyone reach out that doesn’t say it but you don’t know if it’s a sign that they reached out? And then let our minds run wild wondering what this could mean because of the kismet timing?

Mine is tomorrow, right now on the east coast. In fact it’s at 11:22 pm so i like to count the next day as my birthday but it’s only in my head and not shared. I know not everyone shares the same sentiments on their birthdays but as a time hoarder and a keeper of minutes and moments, it means a lot to me. I think my excitement comes out as anxiety over the weeks leading up to and probably for a week afterwards. Last day, minutes, moments of being 34, moving into a new year, what now? What next? Did I cherish the last year enough and if not now it’s too late? What have I learned, when will this or that happen and what if it never does? All the usual questions anyone that cares or feels weird would ask.

This year it’s my first intentional birthday spent with my family. After a lifelong journey still in progress of self discovery and understanding who I am and where and who I come from, I am happy and sad to say I finally like my family. Celebrating with them is a very momentous event. Growth, progress, new levels of love, anything and everything imaginable. Never would have thought i’d be here today and feeling this way.

There’s so much to be grateful for, everything leading up to this moment. How much my parents have accomplished for me to be here today and now. And yet I still feel lonely. Emotions are so tricky aren’t they? I guess one of the things I will add to my list of desires and wants is to be able to share these emotions with someone one day and that they, singular or plural would have things to say to console me whilst on this emotional roller coaster ride.

I can’t believe I’m here though. In my final moments of a year and about to begin a new one. What will come this way? I want so much to be brave, to live free and present while filled with peace. I pray to forgive, grow in love and faith and to listen. I have a passion for making people feel and inspiring and believe I bring love and light into other peoples lives. And you’d think I was in a place of knowing better, living free-er, which is definitely the case but sometimes I just don’t feel like I know anything. It all feels periodically crazy and unclear and discouraging but I just have to remind myself that our feelings come and go. I hope that with each day I let go and let God. Going to soak in this last hour 🥺😭 and welcome a new year.

Sophia C.

10 things I’m grateful for

1. A steady job that allows me to have a income to not only purchase what I need but also little wants that bring me joy.

2. A group of work friends who takes me as I am. They listen to my Debbie downer complaining when I feel burnt out and take in my over-the-top extra-ness when I feel motivated without making me feel bad about being either way.

3. A healthy and relatively smooth first pregnancy with only annoying but not-too-scary symptoms or complications.

4. Being able to spend time with my family and have them feed me/talk to me while transitioning to a new place.

5. Having the financial means to get a bigger place.

6. Having support from my partner during an isolating time.

7. Having different types of friends and relationships to lean on in different aspects of my life- an empathetic brother and an aggressive sister to stand up for me in the stuff that I’m too meek in.

8. The recovery of my family after health scares.

9. A body that allows me to live and enjoy life.

10. The experiences and relationships that brought me to where I am today and continue to help me grow as a person.

Sina W.

1. My parents. They’ve really been there for me through the challenges of covid & especially through the break up. Paying for therapy & spending a lot of time with me watching shows and just crying was very needed.

2. Ty. I would say “my friends” but I haven’t seen my friends like that. I spend every day with Ty lol. He is my friend soulmate and I hope everyone finds a friend like him. He walked me to my apartment every night when I was being harassed by my ex, let me crash with him, fed me, and above all has made incredible sacrifices to be a part of this music journey with me and I can’t thank him enough.

3. Nature. I’ve spent a lot of time connecting with nature, reading about nature, and sitting in nature. It’s been very meditative and helped me keep a level head.

4. Music. Just grateful to do what I love & be able to take everything I’m feeling and turn it into something tangible and productive. It has been my saving grace through quarantine and I don’t know what I’d be doing if I didn’t have it.

5. Edibles lol. Between October and February my anxiety was through the roof. I’ve been through a lot of shit recently and thank god there’s been something to take the edge of sometimes.

6. Books. I’ve read 20 books since Christmas. I’ve been really excited about learning recently. Everything from meditation to the ice age to gentrification. It’s given me a lot of perspective and makes me really happy.

7. My sister. We recently started getting a lot closer and I always hoped that would happen.

8. My DOG. He makes me so happy. Like pure joy. I love him so much.

9. The sun. Not very common in Portland but every week we may get a sunny day and every time it happens it’s a reminder that this will be over soon. When the world was open, the clouds didn’t bug me so much. But now I look forward to the sun like no other.

10. BLAZER GAMES. Omg. I have not missed a game this season. It gives me something to look forward to & they are so fun to watch.

Anna B.
