I know it has been a while. There are many factors for my lack of inactivity on my usually active blog, but today, I wanted to post because it is my 31st birthday. First off, I wanted to honor God for allowing me to be alive. I want to honor my mother, who carried me for nine months and delivered me to this world. I want to honor my parents and my siblings, who have contributed to raising me. My birthday photo ultimately represents me. Jeans and a T-shirt with the creature from the black lagoon on my shirt. Just trying to figure life out and which road will not lead to dead ends. It Is all about the painful yet thrilling journey, or as Bilbo Baggins says…LET’S GO ON AN ADVENTURE!Most days, I feel like the creature from the black lagoon. Misunderstood and odd.

This year… I don’t feel lost…I know where I want to be, but it’s about how to get there. More than that, I aim to strengthen my faith and turn to God during the good and the bad. Life is short. So, I will try to make the best of it.

You interpret these photos yourself. I put effort into my outfits and location for these photos. For me, an ordinary L.A. girl trying to find her way.

My birthday song. I heard it last night after a long time. It made me feel something in my heart. The history behind it is just as powerful.

Cheers to 31,

Happy Birthday to me, Frshta. I love you so damn much. I love everything about you. Keep going. Keep working on it even when you feel exhausted. Keep trusting God. You are loved by God. You are loved by humans. Find your way. Keep working on healing and always take it back to God. Being human is hard but work on finding your peace. Don’t lose yourself. Always look for the light. Keep resurrecting your lost dreams.

Love yourself,

Frshta
