Being Yourself is a Kind of Magic Trick, Isn’t It

Sleight of hand, and twist of fate. Today's my birthday and I feel so filled with joy at all the kindness I see in my friends, family, and even the world around me. I know it's a scary time for so many people, but what we can control is ourselves, our mindsets and keeping ourselves well enough to keep living, keep trying. I think a lot about what it means to be myself, and I think it's a kind of magic trick. I'm not here, and I wave my hand and appear. I can't wait to see what the next year brings, and thank you endlessly for being you, the greatest gift of all.
