The Quiet Birthday

When your birthday arrives, and you can’t be around people because of pneumonia, so you buy yourself a cupcake, put on your pajamas, and light a match – because we dont waste candles on girls who can’t blow them out. Make a wish, let the match burn out (because huffing and puffing doesn’t do the job), and put the cupcake back in the fridge hoping that you will feel better tomorrow, so you can eat it.
It’s too sad I know, but rituals are an important self care habit, so I went through the motions.

The good thing about all of this is that I will keep making wishes until I can blow that match out, and finally eat that cupcake.

Happy Birthday to Me!

My name is Laura. This blog will serve as documentation on a 90 day (and perhaps longer) commitment to new self-care practices. If you find yourself here, you will join me in daily walks by the water, and occasional forest or tree lined street, new to me healthy recipes, some lessons discovered during therapy sessions, reading a few books, watching a few movies, and finding some fun. This journey into self-care will revolve around my core values of curiosity, creativity, inclusion, accountability, and harmony.

Welcome.
