As my birthday approaches, I’m choosing to celebrate differently this year. Instead of one post, one moment, one caption — I’m giving myself 14 days of intention. Fourteen days of reflection. Fourteen reminders of who I am becoming and what I am calling in.
Each day leading up to my birthday, I’ll be sharing a new photo and one birthday wish. This post holds all of them — not as resolutions, but as promises to myself. Quiet prayers. Soft boundaries. Bold intentions. This season of my life is about alignment, peace, and truth. Here’s what I’m wishing for as I step into a new year.
1. I wish for peace that is protected
Peace that doesn’t require explanation and doesn’t shrink to accommodate discomfort. This year, peace is no longer negotiable for me. I’m choosing environments, conversations, and connections that honor my nervous system and my spirit. Anything that disrupts my inner calm no longer gets unlimited access — protecting my peace is an act of self-respect.
2. I wish for discernment over attachment
I wish for the wisdom to see people clearly, not through potential, nostalgia, or hope, but through consistency and character. I’m releasing emotional attachment to versions of people that don’t exist. Discernment allows me to love wisely, choose intentionally, and stop romanticizing what has already shown me exactly who it is.
3. I wish for aligned connections
I’m calling in friendships, partnerships, and collaborations rooted in honesty, support, and mutual respect. No competition, no cliques, and no confusion. I desire connections with people who clap when I win, correct me with love, and walk beside me without agenda. Alignment feels easy, honest, and reciprocal — and that’s the standard I’m standing on.
4. I wish to continue choosing myself
Not selfishly, but intentionally. Choosing myself looks like honoring my well-being, my growth, and my truth even when it’s uncomfortable. It means boundaries, rest, and honesty without guilt, trusting that the right people will respect the self-respect I’ve worked hard to build.
5. I wish for soft love
I wish for love that feels safe and doesn’t require over-explaining. Love that honors communication, loyalty, and emotional maturity. I desire love that feels calm, consistent, and kind — love that doesn’t confuse peace with boredom, but understands that safety is the real luxury.
6. I wish for clarity in all things
Clear intentions, clear communication, and clear paths forward. I no longer romanticize confusion or mixed signals, from others or from myself. I value honesty, transparency, and knowing exactly where I stand, because clarity creates peace.
7. I wish for continued healing
Healing that’s honest and allows me to release old versions of myself without shame. Healing isn’t linear, but it is intentional. I’m honoring my progress, giving myself grace, and allowing joy to coexist with growth as I continue becoming.
8. I wish for creative freedom
I wish for the courage to create boldly, speak honestly, and express myself without fear of misunderstanding or judgment. My creativity thrives when I stop shrinking. This year, I’m embracing my voice, my vision, and my expression — unapologetically and authentically.
9. I wish for abundance with purpose
I desire success that feels fulfilling and opportunities that align with my values. Abundance, for me, isn’t just about having more — it’s about meaning. I’m wishing for blessings that nourish my soul and allow me to pour back into my family and community.
10. I wish for emotional safety
I wish for spaces where I don’t have to armor up and people who handle my heart with care. Emotional safety is foundational for me, and I’m choosing relationships where vulnerability is respected and trust is protected — no exceptions.
11. I wish to remain a woman of integrity
Even when it’s easier to be silent. Even when truth costs me access. Even when doing the right thing isn’t popular. Integrity guides my decisions, and I’m committed to standing in truth, leading with honesty, and honoring my values regardless of the outcome.
12. I wish for joy in the present
I’m no longer waiting for the next milestone, relationship, or accomplishment to allow myself happiness. Joy doesn’t live in the future — it lives here. I’m learning to savor today, celebrate small wins, and fully experience the beauty of now.
13. I wish to continue honoring my growth
I acknowledge how far I’ve come and celebrate the woman I am today, not just the woman I’m becoming. Growth deserves recognition, and I’m proud of the lessons I’ve learned, the strength I’ve built, and the evolution I’ve lived through.
14. I wish to always remember this: I am the gift
Not because I’m perfect, but because I’m present, loving, intentional, and a safe space. This is my reminder that I don’t need to earn my worth. My presence, my love, and my intention are gifts all on their own — and that is worth celebrating.
