was not in the mood to celebrate a birthday this year. However, considering it's my 50th and I am basically starting a new life with a more open mindset. I have decided to at least try and get together with people for dinner.
I am not drinking myself, but feel free to bring whatever you would like. Sorry for the early timing as well, I am wanting to go to a pool tournament after.
Feel free to bring a side dish, snacks, or desert. But I will be doing a prime rib and a few sides, so nothing more is needed. Girts are also not anything I care about, I would much rather just share a memory, and think of good times to come!! So, showing up is the best gift you could get me…
As many know, I have battled my demons this last year and more. I have worked very hard, and sacrificed a lot. Tearing down all my unhealthy coping mechanisms, and working on creating healthy new ones. Taking the good, learning from the bad, and leaving the rest. Becoming the best structure of a person, from the building blocks my life experiences have given me.
I have done terrible things, and lied to myself along with those I care for. I can only try to always work on doing better. I am far from perfect, but will never stop becoming the best I can be…
“It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you're not…”
The Price of Authenticity
Staying true to who you are won’t always earn applause, but it will always earn self-respect. Pretending just to be accepted only leads to emptiness. Choose the path of honesty, even if it’s lonelier — it’s the one that builds real strength and real peace.
When you choose authenticity, you choose courage.
Not everyone will understand you, and not everyone is meant to.
The right people recognize your truth — the wrong ones fear it.
Standing alone is sometimes the highest form of self-respect.
