A few months ago, I came across something on Instagram that stopped my scrolling completely. Someone was talking about birthdays, specifically about reframing the way we think about getting older. Instead of dreading another year ticking by, she suggested putting a decimal point between the digits of your age and thinking of your birthday as a software upgrade. The moment your birthday arrives, you are becoming the next, best version of yourself.

The setting felt serene, elevated, and completely private.
