People spend their entire life to be a great person. I’m so blessed that I was born great. Today is the day to celebrate this holy greatness of mine! Happy birthday to me! Don’t let them decide for you what you have to speak, how you have to behave, what you should write, who you should be. Don’t let them set the standards for you. Your wings should not be chained or sewed. Your decisions should not be the result of their opinions. Just decide it for yourself. That is enough to make all the difference. I hope you learn a lot this year and that you grow in all the ways that you are expecting to. Remember we wanted our PhD before we turned 29? lol. Don't let that dream go. Remember to eat 3 meals a day and drink plenty of water. Oh and I love you, in case no one has told you lately.
