Today is my birthday and I was not sure if I should write about it or not, but somehow I do not want it to go unmarked on my substack. If it hadn’t been a day I post in (Tuesday or Friday) most likely I would not have mentioned it, but it is so, there you go.
I love it when it is my birthday, I always have ever since I was little, and even when I did not get the chance to do anything special, just because it is my birthday it feels nice.
I know I can celebrate myself every day of the year, but it being the actual day when I first opened my eyes in the world is special.
I am happy with my achievements so far in my life, I did a decent job of it, and I will do my best to continue. Although I do not have my novel, in the last two years thanks to substack and forcing myself to keep at it, I have gathered quite a lot of short stories.
I am sure writing these stories has helped me improve my skills as a writer, and I am not giving up, I am still keeping at it at writing my novel, or at least my first novel, as I hope that if I manage one, then others will follow.
I am grateful for my wonderful partner, my amazing family and all the great things we have in our lives, and I do not take any of them for granted. All I can wish for is for us all to be healthy so we can keep doing our thing, and deal with the unknown of the world.
As you might have seen from my posts I am quite a ‘cheesy’ person, but that is part of my charm. I am also grateful for the people that read my words, thank you so much for the time you spend with me!
What are my hopes for this next year of my life?
For everybody to be ok and happy that is a given, but besides that I want to at least finish the draft of my book, continue writing for my substack, and building on all the good things that I have been working on so far.
Nothing much different than before.
As long as I do not give up and just keep at it in my quiet little way I am happy, that makes me happy.
Many happy returns!
Have a wonderful birthday!
