Letter to self on my 28th birthday (today)
Dear Jason,
Today you turn 28. Take a second to acknowledge all that you’ve done and seen, the people you’ve loved and lost, the dreams, old and new.
Then, take a deep breath and say to yourself, for once, “Not bad, kid. Not bad at all.”
And smile.
Love,
Jason
