🕑 Added 2025-03-30 01:40:19 +0000 UTCToday is my birthday! š Iām officially 32 years old~ I used to feel the urge to conceal how old I am (especially once I hit 30), but Iāve since realized itās a privilege to age. To my younger followers, please know that your 30s are not old, itās okay if you donāt have your life figured out yet. You have the rest of your life to change and reinvent yourself as many times as you want! It turns out that āgrowing upā has no finish line, you do it for the rest of your life! š
Iāve been feeling kinda depressed lately, so I almost didnāt celebrate my birthdayā¦but at the last minute, I decided to visit a local botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary with my family! And it was awesome! Or maybe Iām just a geek for narrated tram tours about ferns. Florida may beā¦.Florida, but itās also home to so many incredible species! Favorite part of the day was the gator pit, hands down. My photo doesnāt do the sheer size of the alligators justice, they were huge! This particular park had many, maaaaaany roaming peacocks, including a leucistic white male named Prince Charming!
If I can be a bit dark for a moment, when I was younger, I never really pictured myself making it past 20. Let alone to 32! My life hasnāt always been easy, and I havenāt always made the best decisions. But Iāve kept going. And Iāll keep going, keep learning, keep growing! Iām proud to be here, dear patrons. Iām happy to be here. And Iām so, so grateful to have you all here with me! <3

Me, knowing we live an hour or so away from each other and now also knowing I'm like 6 months older than you: .....HUH. Tbf idk why this surprised me given I've been following you since Deviantart in 2015ish but like, still weird when people online say they're age and I'm like "wait how are you the same age as me???" Because age is a fucking nebulous concept after COVID and the dystopian hellscape we're in lol
