Happy birthday to me!!!

Yellow everyone!!

I hope you are doing and feeling well in this thing called life.

Today, February 27th is my 34th birthday 🥳 and I’m always excited about my birthday!! I have to share that I find funny whenever someone says “Keep it calm, it’s my birthday.”, because unless you’re below 10 years old, which your mother still gets excited about your birthday, you’re probably the only person who isn’t calm. We can be happy for you, but sure we’re calm 😁.

I’ve been so much active, doing “zillions” things at different levels, Therefore, for me time is still passing by so fast. Here we are, almost entering the last month of the first annual quarter. I was supposed to publish a post after Valentine’s Day, because I had a really good and different experience this year, However I must confess that writing about love (including self love), relationships is always difficult to me taking in consideration that those are one of the subjects that I’m most interested and curious about, it feels difficult to narrow down my thoughts in a few lines. I guess I have to start at some point and will.

So, back to what brought me here today, it’s my birthday and I can’t keep calm 🥳 🎂. I chose to spend my day in a way that I love to spend my time, which is by myself. Yes, you read it correctly, and yes, everything is okay 🙂. Me, myself and I are having a good time.

My friends have been asking me about my birthday plans for a couple of months and I could only say “I don’t know” or “nothing at all.” This is a bit unexpected for me, not just because I’ve done a lot in my past pre-birthdays/ birthdays from hiking a mountain, paragliding, girls trips to the beach, to a party with a live music concert at my home; but specially because I always organize, plan things in advance. Usually right after my birthday I already know the “theme” for the next one, but this time, nothing has really been “calling” me for a celebration and its okay. In the back of my mind I only knew I wanted somehow do something for others, which I ended up organizing last minute in memory of my beloved sky. She entered my life in my birthday 3 years ago and today she would be 3,6 years.

In addition, I feel like I’ve been celebrating my life in the past few months, socializing, traveling, (re)connecting with people, trying different things I’ve always wanted to, eating, drinking… so for this day I wanted just to be still, fully present receiving and savoring all the good energies and love I´m receiving 💗. Regardless, I believe that our birthday shouldn’t pass without something special at all, even if it’s small.

In my perspective is “odd” not “celebrate” the day you had the chance to enter the earth and live all wonders of life (I know with bruises and all). Life is good, being alive is good (and good is an understatement!!).

In my perspective is “odd” for you to be more excited about someone else birthdays then your own, you’re the most important person in your life…or at least you should be.

In my perspective is also “odd” to be expecting merely others to make your birthday special, memorable, remember it’s your birthday, be in charge.

There is an excerpt of Osho´s book “The Path of Love” that I think is perfect for a birthday message:  “There has never been a person like you before, there is no one like you in this world now, and there never will be. Look at the respect life has for you. You are a work of art – impossible to repeat, incomparable, absolutely unique. Our life is a gift, an immensely valuable gift. We may or may not understand it, but it is an immeasurable gift. Think of life as a gift, and then naturally you will become more sensitive, more attentive, more grateful.”

What is that one special thing you have been postponing and you would love to do? Isn’t something that you could plan for your next birthday to treat yourself?

Just a reminder, Special doesn’t mean expensive, huge. Be creative and share with me your birthday plans. Life is short!!

Be brave. Be you. Be happy.
