Happy birthday, Nic! I hope you get to spend the weekend full of love and joy. Birthdays have been a bit rough for me these past few years, but I have two means of celebration that have always been favorites.
Smashing your face in the cake. This is especially wonderful if no one else around the table (or the room) knows you’re going to do it. Throughout my life, I’ve been uncomfortable with being the center of attention unless I’m able to turn it outward by making the people I love laugh. I smashed my face in many of my childhood birthday cakes, and carried the tradition into adulthood. It’s always hilarious, and just brings a lot of joy to the day.
Breakfast in bed, even if it’s just a cup of coffee or tea. Birthday song, and just letting the day begin with celebration.
Sending you big love and wildness for your birthday. And hiking and ice cream cones are my top two on my Summer Joys list this year, so tomorrow I’ll eat an ice cream cone for you and your dad. <3
