Thanks Kassie! First time I’ve treated myself to the cake of my dreams on my bday. That jam, pastry cream combo with the spiced cake...to die for! My only regret was not taking more pics before it was devoured

Love this so much. Beautifully written and perfectly encapsulates how I felt entering my 30's. Like, wow, I'm glad that decade is over! Your 20's are an overrated whirlwind. At least mine were. Happy Birthday! Keep enjoying yourself.

When I was probably 23ish I was lamenting to this astrologer friend (who was in his 50s I think) about how my 20s are “supposed to be the best years of my life and maybe I’m doing them wrong” and he just looked at me and said “sweetie, your 20s aren’t the best years of your life. Your 20s suck. Your 30s are the best years of your life.” And that has always stuck with me. I shared a lot of the same turning-30 feelings this past summer :) happy birthday!

Aw I love this. I think a lot about how desperately I wanted to find love in my 20s. It kinda ruled my whole existence. And then eventually I met someone and it was just right. Trying to approach my 30s with less desperation, knowing that this decade will likely culminate in achieving my goals and that I don't need to agonize over it or force it into existence. Easier said than done, but generally feeling optimistic :)
