hey, this is hawa! iโm upholding my birthday tradition by reflecting on everything iโve learned this past year. these are the most special birthday gifts i could ever give to my current and future self.๐ฅฐ
โชย previously on my birthday reflection series: ( i no longer fully agree with everything i wrote in these ones lol)
and nowโฆ @ age 22: this past year was unhinged in the best way possible. i took more risks, had more fun, and everything shifted, especially my understanding of myself, what i care about, and the impact i want to create. this was a year of deep reflection, growth, and realization (with plenty of existential crises along the way lol).
if thereโs one thing iโve learned, itโs that life is messy, but itโs also full of possibility. every thought, every action, every connection carries meaning. hereโs to embracing the chaos and creating something extraordinary. ๐จ

๐ซก you donโt need permission from anyone to do anything. move through the world knowing you can create your own luck and your own reality. seeking permission is often just a way to avoid taking action. it keeps you in your comfort zone and lets fear win.
it feels easier to justify inaction by blaming someone else for not allowing you, rather than admitting you were scared, lacked confidence, worried about what irrelevant people would think, or simply had no urgency to act. but the truth is, you donโt need approval. you just need to start.
