It’s My Birthday!

If you’re reading this on the 20th of April, it’s my birthday! I am turning 29 today and couldn’t be happier. Which is weird because you guys know how much I love to whine especially about my birthday lol.

I’m happy not because life is perfect, life is never perfect, but because I have so much to be grateful for. I’ve been able to publish two books in my twenties, I started my own business, I’ve grown so much as a person. And more than anything else, I am thankful for my friends and family and that includes you guys. I know I say this a lot but it’s only because it’s true. I wouldn’t have achieved any of these things without you guys always backing me up and supporting me. This WordPress community means the world to me.

What are my plans for my birthday? Well, after 29 years I’m finally going to do what I’ve wanted to do for my birthday since the day I was born. Absolutely nothing at all.

Speaking of which, I will also be taking the week off. I’ve been doing too much lately with the marketing and working full-time and blogging. I can tell I’m going to end up burnt out if I don’t take a break so instead of waiting till I’m burnt out, I’ll be taking a break this week. So instead of burnt out I’ll be blazed lol. What? I am born on 4/20, you know… Jk! Have a great week!

My first novel, Perfect, is now available on Amazon. If you would like to read it, please click here.

          1. I know! I think you told me a few years back when I wished you Happy Birthday, and asked if you were sure you weren’t an Aries. I’m on the cusp of Taurus and folks tell me all the time, “You’re more Taurus than you are an Aries”. 🤣😂😆 Enjoy the rest of our birthday month to the fullest, Pooj!

  24. Pooja, for your birthday I went to a goth cafe, haunted place experience Halloween vibe all year round. I always thought it’s a tourist trap but you know what? I loved it, the ambiance, food , service, music and people were just pure fun. Rest assured I was properly entertained for your birthday, fed and watered. Luckily they had other drinks besides water . But let me say it out loud: happy birthday my friend!!!

    1. Thank you so much. Oh wow, that sounds like such a cool cafe. I love Halloween. What a nice way to spend the day and thanks!

      1. It’s very popular with tourists and locals, props are really amazing

    1. Thank you so much, breaks are so important! 😊

  26. Happy happy birthday to you, Pooja! Have a wonderful day!🎉🎂 Also congratulations on all of your achievements, wow! And I honestly expected an activity you’ll do today, but the next words caught me off that you’ll do “absolutely nothing at all” 🤣

    1. Thank you so much! Haha yes I chose to do nothing at all instead 😂

      1. It’s alright, and we hope you had a relaxing week?

        1. I did, thank you.

  32. Happy birthday, dear Pooja!🥳 🎂🎈🎈
    I’m so happy for you.
    • You do deserve some gap & break. Enjoy this break (A PAUSE)!
    • Do maintain your physical health. Little ignorance on a regular basis can transform into something serious, in the longterm.
    Boost up your immunity.
    • Yes! Publishing your own poetry and novel is an important achievement. I’m glad you tried something like that.
    • Personally I feel grateful to you — for checking out on me regularly and supporting me. I feel about you as a sibling. It’s good that we feel safe here.
    This shouldn’t feel heavy. I see it as some sort of healthy reliance (and not dependency or complaining attitude).
    As I grow older I am learning to lead myself. I am avoiding the places and spaces where I shouldn’t be present.
    • Practicing mndfulness is a way to counter today’s excessive information oriented digital world. It allows you to make your choices. So, this is something useful.
    • I will remind you again to focus on your real life— that’s your family members and friends there— over your online life. Be there for them, hear them, and do your part of role/duty…but make sure to ‘take care of yourself’ as well.
    You can make your own food. You can try a hobby. Take short walks. And you can explore new places around you also.
    • I will PAUSE here, and will avoid getting into much details. Take a moment to stop reading…and just take 1-2 deep breaths, stabilise yourself, try smiling and laughing.😆😆 You will feel better.
    Take care, friend!
    Enjoy!✨☘️☘️💪🏼

    1. • “This WordPress community means the world to me.” I feel the same. 🧡
      • “What are my plans for my birthday? Well, after 29 years I’m finally going to do what I’ve wanted to do for my birthday since the day I was born. Absolutely nothing at all.” He…he…🤣🤣 You are so funny. Reading this literally made me chuckle.
      Doing nothing is a real skill in today’s world (Because most people are looking for some validation, trying to unnecessarily pleasing others with fake smiles & fake sympathy.)

      1. Thank you so much, I ended up having a week of nothing at all lol 😂

  33. Wishing you a very happy birthday!

    1. Thank you so much!

  34. Happy birthday, Pooja. I wish you many happy and healthy returns, my dear.

  48. Happy Happy Birthday, Pooja! I hope you day is fabulous and enjoy your week off.

    1. Thank you so much!

  49. Happy Birthday P.J. I remember my 29th. We went to this chic Filipino restaurant in Chatswood. Me, my relatives, and a close friend.

    I’ve had quiet bdays as well. Each year is a blessing. You’re right, there are many reasons to be thankful.

    1. Thank you so much. That sounds like it was a lovely 29th for you. Yes, so many things to be grateful for if we take the time to do so.

  50. Happy Birthday !! 29 wow you have the 30’s to tackle. It is a very interesting decade to be sure. 🙂

    1. Thank you! Haha yes, I’ll be in my thirties soon enough and I’m excited to see what that brings.

  51. Happy birthday 🎂 Pooja.
    Finally 29 years old, congratulations and big up for the accomplishments, I’ll be 29 in August which is terrifying, to know we’re finally getting old🤣

    1. Thank you so much 😊 Haha yeah, can you believe we’ll be thirty next year??

      1. I really can’t! I feel young, I am way behind from what 30’s were promised. But no way out it is what it is.

        1. I am quite behind too in some ways but I’m trying to focus on the stuff I have been able to do, even the small wins count a lot.

          1. What’s the mindset that keeps you going? Coz for me it feels like an stuck in some ways I can’t quite figure out?

            1. I think the important thing is acceptance, let go of what “should have been,” accept what is, and work towards realistic goals. That’s what’s helped me most when I feel stagnant.

              1. that’s the only way out, Pooja. Thanks so much.

  52. Happy Birthday! Congratulations on all you have done and best wishes on all you will do in the future!

    1. Thank you so much!

  53. Happy birthday to you cutie 🎉🎉🎂🥳😍🙌

    I hope you enjoy every second of your beautiful birthday Pooja; 29 years of age is a marvelous milestone but your exemplary vivacious qualities makes age look like it doesn’t apply to you in reality 😂😁💗

    You are a foxy bombshell who’s fiery energy can easily be mistaken for the sunshine of the sun itself 💘💘

    1. Aww thank you so much, you are so sweet 🥹💗💕

      1. Hahaa 😄, it’s a huge pleasure and honor Pooja 💗💕, and I wish you many more prosperous, joyful and beautiful years ahead 🤗🥰🥰💌

        1. 😊❤️🤗

          1. 🌹🤗🌹

  54. Yayyyyy! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Dear Pooj! Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuu! 🥳🎉🎊🎂 And many moreeeeee! Right the words, “Birthday Queen” on your crown, while you’re sitting around having a much deserved breather! I hope that this is the most special and best birthday that you’ve ever had yet! 💗

    1. Aww thank you soooo much!! I had a lovely day 💗

  55. Happy birthday, Pooja! Enjoy your break. Go to that restaurant you enjoyed so much on New Year’s Eve; you’ve earned it! 😊

    1. Thank you so much, I ended up going to a different restaurant but it was still a cool day! 😊

  62. I am reading on the twentieth, though even if I weren’t, Happy Birthday! I hope this is/has been a grand day for you. The plan of nothing sounds just right. I trust that means relaxation and other smaller pleasures. I applaud your accomplishments and the circle you are keeping that gets wonderfully larger.

    1. Thank you so much! It’s been a lovely week of doing nothing, it’s exactly what I wanted.

  63. Happy Birthday!

  81. Happy belated birthday 🎁 I hope you had a wonderful day 👍

    1. Thank you so much, I did 😊

  82. Happy belated birthday, Pooja. As you can tell, I’m doing what one blogging friend of mine called “camping out” on your blog. I’ve been traipsing through your fine whines, and they are all lovely. I hope you have a delightful 30th year, and may all your dreams and wishes come true. 🙂 xxx

    1. Thank you so much, I’m so happy that you’ve enjoyed my posts and for all the support you’ve shown me for my writing 🙂

      1. My pleasure, Pooja. 🙂 I finished the book. I didn’t realize she is one of the world’s top ten writers. There’s a lot to learn from in this story. It’s worth a careful analysis.

        1. Yeah, she’s very well know in the writing field. Absolutely, so many intense themes and a lot to learn from it. I admired how the book was so unique, I’ve never read one like it.

          1. She addresses at least two agendas – assisted suicide and acceptance of sexual preferences, and she does it well. The reader also gets insight into the back story of the life of movie stars – if she accurately portrays them. Their lives are certainly different than the average person, and with money they do wield power. The author shows how that works to a point, and how they can and do leverage their power. So there is a lot here to discuss beyond the questions posed in the book.

            I think good authors throughout the years have been able to shape public thinking with their writing – consider Uncle Tom’s Cabin, David Copperfield just to name a couple. Time will tell if this book actually shapes history or even makes a deep impact on public thinking.

            1. Another thing I loved is how the book explored empathy. Even though Evelyn did some awful things, many of them were decisions made due to circumstances. Others, I strongly disagree with but can also understand why she did what she did.

              1. Good points. People are often forced to choose the lesser of two evils or perish. I don’t think her faith in God was strong enough to get her out of her personal lions’ dens.

                1. Yeah, I don’t think it was either. Unfortunately, it’s like that sometimes.

  83. Your birthday is on 4/20? Time for a Snoop Dogg reference!

    1. Haha I definitely spent 4/20 the same way as he probably did lol!

  84. Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great day, doing nothing, of course, and that you enjoy your time off.

    1. Thank you so much, I did!

      1. You’re so welcome. Awesome!

  85. A glorious happy birthday to you, Pooj.🌼💜

    1. Thank you so much 😊💗

  86. Happy birthday!

  87. Happy Birthday – may the new year be the best yet! 🥳

    1. Thank you so much! 😊

      1. You’re so welcome ✨

  88. Happy Birthday, Pooja!

  89. Happy Birthday, Pooja!! 🙂

    💝💝💝

    1. Thank you so much! I just got your book by the way, I hope to read it soon. 💗

      1. Aww…Pooja! I’m sitting here right now reading “Perfect “…Chapter 37! ❤️😉❤️

        1. Ahh I hope you’re enjoying it so far! 😊❤️

          1. I am, I am! ❤️

  94. I hope these belated birthday wishes find you well and I know you are taking the week off 😉 hope it’s relaxing and fun …

    Proceed with caution, a Taurus in her author era is basically a celestial power surge.
    Every chapter she writes hits like a velvet meteor: slow, sensual, impossible to dodge.
    Reality steps aside on her birthday because even the universe knows not to block a Taurus.
    Fierce, grounded, and stubborn enough to finish a killer novel while the cosmos was still buffering.
    Even the stars gossip about her … apparently, they’re “a little intimidated.”
    Cosmic rumor says galaxies are lining up for her book launch like it’s interstellar Coachella-VIP.
    Today and every day forward, may her path blaze brighter, her art rise higher, and her future unfold in unstoppable, star-lit abundance ~ <3 !!! Always 😀

    1. Aww thank you so much, it was very relaxing and fun! Hehe you know nothing beats us Taurus’s and our ambitions! You’re the best, thank you so much! ☺️

    1. Thanks so much.

  95. Happy belated birthday. I’m sorry I missed the occasion, but I’ve had a weird and difficult time as of late. New PC, new creative writing app, stress. Ugh.

    I’m glad, though, that you took a break from blogging and focused on other things/

    1. Thank so much! No worries, I totally understand. It takes a while to get used to changes like that.

  96. Happy belated birthday!

    1. Thank you!

  97. Happy Birthday !

    1. Thanks so much!

  98. Happy belated birthday! 🎂x

    1. Thank you!
