It is exactly one month till my birthday. The big three, and I can't wait.
The last few years have been so odd. I went from not wanting to celebrate my birthday to not wanting to let the moment pass to celebrate my birthday. I've found that the years I chose to celebrate have been more enjoyable, not just because of the gifts and celebrations, but because they've added beautiful moments to my life.
This year, because I am turning thirty, I want to do something different. I want to create even more beautiful memories, and I want you, my friends, and loved ones, to be a part of it.
I want you (my friends and loved ones) to choose how you would like to celebrate with me. I'd like you to choose an activity for us to do together in the coming year. Something you know we, well, I would love. It does not have something too intricate, it can be as simple as meeting together at a museum. For my foreign people in the audience, we can share a special moment digitally or find a mutual experience to enjoy together, even if we're physically apart.
On my actual birthday, I would like to wake up to more than just “happy birthday’’ messages. I would love for you to share your most cherished memory with me. Hopefully, it is not too much to ask, as I have many beautiful memories with you all.
I will be spending my actual birthday and the weekend after with the person I love the most in Antwerp. So, I might not be able to reply to all your messages on the spot. So please, don’t get angry at me.
I am making new memories.
