Today marks my golden birthday, another lap around the sun!

It’s humbling, realizing that another woman I’ve never known gave me life and was so incredibly brave, trusting that the best was in store for me. It’s even more humbling realizing how those I have the privilege of knowing have made my cup overflow.

I’ve been working hard to become more brave, tender-hearted, and have a faith more sure. And I think younger Hannah would be so proud to know this Hannah.

I’m lookin’ (squinting) at you, twenty-three.
