As I count down to my upcoming birthday, I'm looking back through the lens of famous songs. I also think about the years remaining.

I recall the biggest shock in my life. Beginning a new life with liberty and Justice in my new nation, and learning to survive.

And since I can’t “turn back time,” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9n3A_-HRFfc&list=RD9n3A_-HRFfc&start_radi…
I never became a real king https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C2-PY5sSDjI&list=RDC2-PY5sSDjI&start_radio=1
I never worked “9 to 5” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UbxUSsFXYo4&list=RDUbxUSsFXYo4&start_radio=1&pp=ygUcZCDigJw5IHRvIDXigJ0gRG9sbGllIFBhcnRvbqAHAQ%3D%3D
But I was once a millionaire, so I can take you there https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EJpSnHNXdKU&list=RDEJpSnHNXdKU&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB
I settled for being a working class hero https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EJpSnHNXdKU&list=RDEJpSnHNXdKU&start_radi…
However, the wind is still beneath my wings https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0iAzMRKFX3c&list=RD0iAzMRKFX3c&start_radio=1
I will enjoy every breath I take this day brings. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOGaugKpzs&list=RDOMOGaugKpzs&start_radio=1&pp=ygU5ZXZlcnkgYnJlYXRoIGkgdGFrZSBldmVyeSBtb3ZlIGkgbWFrZSBpJ2xsIGJlIG1pc3NpbmcgeW91oAcB
Life is beautiful, and I am sharing this heartfelt birthday reflection — poetic, nostalgic, and full of grace.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IYzlVDlE72w&list=RD0iAzMRKFX3c&index=5&pp…
I may not have turned back time, chased fugitives, punched a clock, or made millions, but I have clearly lived with spirit, perspective, and appreciation for the journey. And that wind beneath my wings has carried me through with strength and dignity. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kAMyw73c8Ek&list=RD0iAzMRKFX3c&index=42&p…
This one to share with loved ones who are far away geographically https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lZhq6ArJgOg&list=RD0iAzMRKFX3c&index=35&p…
Another birthday full of deep breaths, light moments, and joy that lingers. May this year bring us peace, clarity, and a few surprises that make US smile. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mwG6g5boyF4&list=RD0iAzMRKFX3c&index=25&pp=8AUB
Things I will never regret...
Being kind and spreading kindness.
Helping others and volunteering.
Making a difference and staying true to myself.
Learning new skills and investing in the future.
Pursuing my passion and breaking bad habits.
Looking after myself and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Content and context are primordial.
There is a difference between feeling and being abandoned.

Life can change in an instant, so I do the best I can.
