Birthdays are said to be a day of celebration but, for me, most birthdays are days to reflect on where I’ve been, and where I am heading.
A year ago on my birthday, I was so miserable; it wasn’t anything I could understand, just the usual depression and anxiety, and on that day, I kept asking myself why I couldn’t just be happy.
I could remember spending a lot of time in the bathroom because I was crying a lot and I didn’t want my family to worry because well, I would rather struggle alone.
Now looking back, I can’t imagine how things got that crazy and I am not here to say they are better but, they aren’t the same, sounds complicated right?
Well, most days it is, I have struggled a lot this past year and I am grateful that I am here today which might not have been possible if I didn’t keep fighting even when every part of me wanted to give up.
I made a promise to myself last year that I will keep smiling and dancing through 23 and it’s silly how many times I danced and cried immediately after.
I wouldn’t say I am the strongest person instead I would consider myself the opposite so, it is crazy that I am here today.
THANKFUL FOR HIVE
I will also say that one reason that I am here today is because of hive, I could remember deciding to come back to hive because I needed an outlet to share my thoughts; at that time I had a lot of them.
I came back not expecting much but, I received so much support from a lot of people to a point that when I was low, I would even get messages on discord.
I am not one to tag people but my mother always says “give thanks to whom thanks are needed” and so, I need to give thanks to a few people.
First to @dreemsteem, @samsmith1971 and @tengolotodo; being part of the dreemers and meeting you guys has been amazing and I am so thankful for that.
Secondly, to @wesphilbin, this whole community has made me more thankful, and I could remember getting a message from you on discord and balling my eyes after because I felt so much love.
Thirdly, to @mipiano, the q-inspired community has been so helpful for me to share a part of myself and my thoughts and I am so grateful for all your words of knowledge.
Finally, to all my friends here on hive that has brought me joy, laughter, wisdom and made me feel like I had a family here.
23 wasn’t the greatest but, I know that 24 will be way better and I am hopeful for it.
I hope you enjoy watching me mumble, act awkward, and clips of my awful dancing.

hehehehehe ohhhhh @chincoculbert is here and saying happy birthday! hehehe I just told her in the server that you two are birthday twins! LOL
Khaleesii!!!
sweet sweet beautiful Ophelia!
This year really has been quite a challenge, especially for people who have sensitive hearts like us. I do think that we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders hehe and learning how to shake some of that weight off is necessary for us to learn. (and I think we are! slowly but surely hehehe)
It's good to go through the hard years though. Because we can look back and see that we've achieved some character while persevering through the darker times. and that God has been with us the whole time, as He promises!
24 will be a year of new promises fulfilled for you! You will grow and smile and bring joy into this year - but it will be a conscious choice for you to do this. You understand? You will consciously choose joy on some days when you feel like you want to cry. But you will choose this and defy all the negativity and shine in spite of all the pain.
And then there will be moments where you start to see... that THAT is where the power comes from. In the ability to shine despite the struggle.
and you will grow in this, and it will be a year where a new era begins for you!
So here is to 24 and all that God will accomplish for you, my sweet!
Happiest birthday! God bless you!!! ❤️, Dreemie
Truly I need to learn to shake the world off my shoulders, some days I do good but some days, it's just a mess.
I guess like you said the hard days are necessary to be able to enjoy the good days.
Thank you so much for all your words of wisdom, if it was possible to put it in a book and sell it, I'll be a billionaire.
Thank you also for your wishes, hopefully, this year will be the best yet.
it WILL be the best year so far.
believe it :)
I believe it and receive it.
Happy birthday Ofure Jackson (Khaleesii) have a fulfilling new year.
Soar, prosper, do very well🥰

Happy Ophelia Jackson. You've come a long way, looking back you should feel proud of yourself of how far you've come. You're not a finished work yet, but you're not very far away from it and I think everything you've been through has been/will be an important ingredient in the eventual success of the grand package.
God us cooking, allow him finish so you can serve them hot hot. 😁
