Another year I guess. It’s hard to know what to say on your birthday. I spent it with the very most important people, and felt love from my tribe. I recognize I’m incredibly fortunate to enjoy the level of support I experience from my loved ones.

The honor and recognition really should go to those who raised me, especially my parents. I am forever indebted to them for all of eternity. All I am derives from them and the rest of my lineage, which is really just a fancy word to describe the care that a sequence of human beings modeled to their offspring.

At some point some release of responsibility does shift though. You inherit whatever circumstances you’re dealt at birth, but at some point, in the end, we all maintain ownership of our lives. With the absolute best start I could almost possibly be given, I step into one more year of life with the understanding of my fortune, and with a drive to better the planet. We can change the world.
