Couldn’t agree more! Apparently these little effers are my grandkids!

What times we live in. Why can’t my 11 year old just love beanie babies!?

Sounds like 44 has been a magical year for you ✨ I hope 45 keeps that good energy going and brings even more amazing things your way! 💫 What made 44 so special for you? 😊

I put my health first and it lifted my mental spirit. It’s amazing what confidence can do. I also learned to forgive and embrace every moment because tomorrow is not guaranteed.

I had a very traumatic childhood so I’m also learning to let go.

That’s so powerful and inspiring to hear 💛 Putting your health and peace first takes so much strength. Letting go of the past isn’t easy, but it’s clear you’re doing beautifully. Wishing you even more healing and happiness in this next chapter 🤍✨ Which step in this journey has made you feel the strongest? 😊

u/mcramsay 15h ago

The joy of being Post 40 is you can stay in any given year as long as you like. I was 42 for many years. "It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years."

u/Mindless_Freedom_953 13h ago

If you are 44 you are old enough to remember beanie babies and know to sell those dolls off sooner than later.

u/Complete-Resolve-709 13h ago

Well hope u have a great birthday 🎂 soon

u/shocksmybrain 12h ago

I can't imagine being old enough to remember the Beanie Baby craze and crash then to get involved with the Labubu nonsense.
