To Tia, With Love

Hey girl! 

It is currently 12:01 am and you are officially 30 years old. I just want to tell you that I’m so proud of you. Chile, your 20s was a hot mess, and so were you but here you are: older, wiser, and grateful. Ten years ago, 30 felt so old but now that it’s finally here, it feels like the complete opposite. There is so much more life to live, love to receive, and fun to have. It feels like this is literally the beginning. I know you thought life was supposed to look totally different by the time you reached this milestone, but honestly you know that you weren’t ready. The time is coming for the man, the babies, and the money. But until then, live your best life sis. Take in all the luxury and the softness you can. Love on you. Be the woman that you needed when you were 20, and for the love of Jesus, please bask in the FREEDOM of being yourself. Yes, you’re weird and quirky. You may talk too fast sometimes or trip over your words when you get too excited. Nine times out of ten you’re probably going to always choose to go left when others say go right and guess what…. 

THAT’S OKAY.  

Stop believing that you have to always have it together. Vulnerability and transparency look good on you. You are enough and you are amazing just the way you are.  

Okay, enough with the sappy stuff! In just a few hours, you’ll be turning up in Vegas and I want you to live it up. Soak in every single moment because you deserve it! Let this trip set the tone for year 30: laughs, fun, friends, and adventure. It’s time to let your hair (well, the little you have of it) down and feel alive. I can’t wait to see how this year will mold you and launch you even further into the woman you’re destined to be.  

I know I don’t tell you often, but I love you. You are a bad mama jama and it’s time to act like it. Let’s show the world what you’re made of.  

Love,  

Tia
