This is 38. ✨ Last weekend I quietly celebrated This is 38. ✨

Last weekend I quietly celebrated my 38th birthday. I’ve been very emotional about this one for reasons completely unrelated to turning 38. Life is very heavy right now and finding joy for myself in the middle of it is hard. My Mom and Grandma came to visit, I made myself a cake, and we spent quality time together. 🥰

Lately I've spent lots of time striving to align my life with what fills my cup the most. I've taken up a new creative pursuit, aggressively searched for answers regarding my health problems, and have been seeing a therapist as well. Choosing how I spend my time and attempting to come to terms with the fact that my time is limited is a lot harder than it sounds. I am notorious for saying that I need "clones of myself" to get everything done when I actually need to strive to do less. 🫠

Being a mother means that I am constantly torn between my maternal instincts and creative pursuits. Even with a partner as supportive as @nopeburger and boys who are older, guilt still lingers when I take time for myself, even if I know I deserve it. I've been forcing myself to and it does get easier. I'm finding joy in time on my own and after 3 years of pandemic living (some of us still have to be very careful) it feels good to do so. The path to self-discovery is not linear. 😅

Looking forward, I've had very candid talks with family and friends about my priorities and feelings about the future. If things here start to look a little more candid, don't be surprised. 🫶🏻

Winter is fleeting. ❄️✨ I don’t know abou Winter is fleeting. ❄️✨

I don’t know about you, but after the rough winter we’ve had in California I’m very much looking forward to spring. I need a little more sunshine in my life, or at the very least slightly warmer temperatures. 🥶

Are you looking forward to spring? 🌸

February memories. ✨ As a side note, I have enj February memories. ✨

As a side note, I have enjoyed making these monthly recaps. It gives me an outlet to share a glimpse into my personal life with you. It also helps my mental health to see progress that I’ve made in life as a summary because though we don’t always notice little changes day by day, they still add up. 🖤

Almond blossom season. 🌸 Growing up in a small Almond blossom season. 🌸

Growing up in a small town every year I knew that spring was on its way when the almond trees would blossom. Within the span of a couple of weeks all the almond orchards would bloom at almost the same time. I grew up in the middle of them. As kids (Ok, as adults too) we used to call it "popcorn". When there is anything more than a slight breeze the delicate petals blow everywhere, often resembling snow. Driving down the road yields rows and rows of ethereal blossom covered trees. It's a surreal experience. 🥰

Even years after moving away I always make it back when the trees are ready. 🤍

PSA: For those who want to take photos with the blossoms, do so from afar! Or ask permission from the farmer first. These blossoms are very delicate and if they are destroyed the almonds will not grow in that spot. These photos were taken in my family's orchard. ☺️
