One of my favourite quotes is:
"Curiosity endows the people who have it with a generosity in argument and a serenity in their own mode of life which springs from their cheerful willingness to let life take the form it will."
-Alistair Cooke
The past year was a failed attempt to grip life in a strangle hold and fight against it at every step. It was filled with fear and pain. This is not my natural state of existing and I feel like this is the year to restore my sense of wonder in the world, and to find serenity amid constant changes. My 30's are going to be amazing. Full of discovery and travel and love. My heart may still be broken, but I promised my mum I would be okay and I owe it to both her and myself to make that promise come true.
P.S. After having looked at the picture of a cupcake for a while, I also think my birthday should have a cupcake in it. A cupcake is definitely a good idea!
