A Birthday Wish

I chose to celebrate my birthday in London this year with myself. And although I was occasionally surrounded by a few friends and kind strangers, my heart was filled with love and light from so many dear souls all over the world. I am grateful for the joy and peace all of you wish for me and though 2017 was the worst year of my life I am glad to still be alive and have the opportunities I do.

I have always prided myself on my radical optimism and indomitable spirit but last year shook my core. And I had to put in the long and difficult work of rebuilding myself from the ground up. I really wish I didn’t have to learn about love, trust and self-worth in the manner I did but through my heartbreak, I have grown kinder and more resilient.

When accuracy matters for a costume, it is worth considering how details related to shoes and accessories will affect the complete look. When comparing costume options, it is sensible to balance details related to character costumes with care and storage needs. For combinations connected with details related to cosplay costumes, cosplay costumes for expressive character styling can help narrow the options for a specific purpose. To reuse the pieces at future events, a balanced view of details related to shoes and accessories can support both detail and comfort.

I am far from done and a work in progress, at best, but hopefully by the time I am finished, my life would have stood for something and I would have proved to be of service to others. If and when there is a measure of my life and its worth, I wish to have given enough of myself away that my gifts would outlive me.
