Ah Ellen, I love the way you think about the world. As someone who has cried on a few birthdays, I know the mixed feelings you can get. Hope you had a good birthday nonetheless xx

oops the bad luck thing made me wince because I cry on my birthday every year - I hope eventually I’ll grow out of birthday blues. this whole post is beautifully written, very relatable, and I absolutely adore that you included a list of thank you’s. It actually seems even more fitting for a birthday post than a “things I learnt”. happy birthday, sweet Ellen! thank you for sharing your talents with us here 💜
