This birthday was one of the most challenging ones for me.

With so much happening in my life, it’s been difficult to process everything, yet the show must go on. Despite it all, my fiancé and I managed a sweet celebration for me.

My birthday was on January 16, and this time I turned 27.

The Week of Challenges

Life has been tough recently, and 2025 has been particularly difficult on both of us.

There was a lot to discuss and process mutually in the same week as my birthday. On my birthday itself, I experienced an anxiety attack. But that’s okay — I know I can figure things out with my fiancé, and we did. When he is around, life feels as smooth as butter.

Now, let me tell you how my birthday celebration went.

Birthday Nails

I started the celebration by getting my nails done on the eve of my birthday. My fiancé picked a cat-eye design for me, as I love trying new things. I chose a coffin shape, and he chose the colour.
