on Sat 17 Aug 2024 in Riyadh on my birthday. I was reflecting on how I have been in survival mode for too long. I rarely celebrated my birthday. I was often in fear of mortality and unworthiness and I found birthdays a pressuring event.

This year was different. I am thriving but I noticed that I still have the programming of survival mode.

I decided to learn to celebrate myself by believing in myself as long as I can and as much as I can throughout the year.

It is our responsibility in life to spend more time doing the things we LOVE, the things that make us thrive and see the beauty in life.

This year I will bring a little bit of sun and equally as much moon.
I will spend some more time crafting the expressions I want to bring to life.
I will spend time paying farewell to those who are not aligned with what I envision for myself and help me see beauty in life.
I will spend more time dedicating myself to my chosen friends to check on them and share life with them.
I will spend more time mining for and sharing great quality expressions rather than low quality impulses.
I will spend more time viewing high quality expressions that inspire me.
I will read more and write more things that bring me more butterflies to my heart.
I will make decisions and commitments that I believe in and I will stick to them long enough before applying greater resilience.

I appreciated all the calls and messages. It warmed my heart and gave me life.

If you want to celebrate my birthday too, know I am a simple man. Send me kind and encouraging words. Send me flowers or plants. Or anything you think I will find beauty in.

Most importantly, remember to celebrate yourself, and myself, by believing in me, and by believing in yourself twice as much. Spend more time doing things you believe in and that way celebrate life.

Thank you @hussam3lsayed for sharing and documenting my birthday.
