Hi... So this is me, Millie, the person behind the posts and the one who desperately avoids looking at the camera.
So 44 today. No make up, no filters, no idealised selfie, no postures, no need. Just a raw and honest photo with the zinc stick from surfing still in place, salt in my ears/ eyebrows/everywhere, matted hair, lines on my forehead and a droopy eyelid, and that's where we're at... Where I'm at I should say... Because not all of us get here, and that is what hurts.
It's another birthday so surfing as much as I can to feel as close as I can to my twin brother Thom, this is the 5th birthday without him... Like I said, we don't all get here, and no one's tomorrow is guaranteed. Every birthday hurts, I won't ever not miss him. So grateful to and for the beautiful people who reached out, thank you for your joy and laughter among the pockets of sadness - you soothe my soul and I feel less alone ππΌππ
Don't take a moment of your life for granted, tomorrow isn't guaranteed.
