Thirty-Nine

Yesterday was my 39th birthday. I had a quiet meal with family.

I usually love celebrating my birthday, but this year I was bothered by intrusive thoughts.

Thoughts like:

• What have you done with your thirty-nine years on this planet?
• You are not required here.
• You have no life purpose.

I spent the day combatting and challenging these thoughts. It was exhausting. I know these thoughts were triggered by my birthday.

So here’s hoping, my 40th birthday will be better.

Write soon,
