Thank you so much to everyone who sent birthday wishes my way this year! Each “Happy Birthday” meant more to me than you can imagine, especially this year as I embrace turning twenty-five and the new beginning it represents.

As I get older, I’ve come to deeply value intimate, genuine connections. On Saturday night, I shared with my dinner guests how this year has been one of reflection, revealing that my approach to life has sometimes cost me the very things that make us feel fully human. This realization has inspired me to make a shift, to embrace a new chapter focused on nurturing deeper relationships and intentionally seeking intimacy. For me, that means facing some of my oldest fears rooted in childhood—fears that I now feel ready to confront as I redefine this next phase.

In thinking about what this “new era” means, I began calling it my “Art Deco” era. To me, Art Deco represents hope and beauty in times of challenge, a reminder that even in difficult moments, there’s room to create something inspiring.

So, I want you to know that each “Happy Birthday” helped me lay the foundation for this new era in my life. Your warm wishes have reminded me of the support and kindness I am so fortunate to have, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

Thank you!

Love,
