Pick peace.
That’s step one.
Let’s Get Into It
Don’t ask anyone to celebrate with you, let them show up
Give the plans, and let them know but don’t beg. They either going to show up or not!
Over the years, I’ve always felt that I was begging people to care about my birthday. This year? No.
You will show up because you want to, not because I asked 10 times.
Choose yourself
Do what you want to do.
It’s your day, your moment to embrace you.
It’s time to truly celebrate you, in every capacity.
Dress how you want
There’s no, “birthday uniform”.
Wear the dress, the pants, even the jeans if that’s what you want. Whatever you do, style yourself in a way that’s groovy, chic and of course sexy.
Don’t be wack.

You need good music around you
Pick a song. A good one, too.
You need a them song for 25.
My theme song was?
I don’t even remember but you should name one.
Stop hiding
No, literally.
It’s your birthday.
“Wear the outfit, do the work, create the art, be intentional and make impact that’s crucial to your growth” – C.Alilijah
People live too scared, they live too comfortable even on their birthday. Nah, turn up a bit. Go explore, go do you.
Try something new
Travel, to a new city, a new state, maybe even out the country. Whatever you do, don’t limit yourself. Don’t let no one try to dictate what you do on your day. It’s your time to embrace yourself.
“The frontal lobe”
If you’re brain actually works then you will know that it been working. The shift happened before you turned 25, and it will continue to shift. You start to see what’s tea and what’s not…
Like I said, if you’re actually locked in, your brain literally be like, “Wait, nah? Wait, what?”
You truly start to situations completely different.
Have some fun
Remember to actually enjoy the day. Another year around the sun.
Don’t let anyone steal your joy.
