#im about to go CRAZY retroactively celebrating my birthday yall 💥🎊💫��🍾

[thatsouthernstate]

That presentation I had to do at work on Monday went really, really well and I was so damn relieved and happy and then today I learned I’m going to be getting a huge raise 🥹 And I was thinking after I found out that I actually am going to be making $30,000 more than what I started out making when they hired me. Maybe it doesn’t sound like much for someone who works in the private sector but I don’t and it’s unfortunately very common to be underpaid in the field I’m in and it feels like, damn, I really have come very far from where I started 🥹 It’s good to feel like sacrifices actually pay off. It’s more than just not being able to celebrate birthdays like last weekend. There’s been a lot of fuckin sacrifices and hard work. A lot! Idk I just feel very proud of myself today and I don’t feel that very often and I just had to pause and appreciate it for a second 🥹

And on top of that, Paul Mescal is now an Oscar nominee. What more could one ask for? 🥹
