Julianne Hough Instagram – As you do around any birthday, I’ve been reflecting a lot, especially around the last 5 years. These years have been the most transformational and transitional years of my life. Lots of things had to come apart. Unraveling a life that had been built on a rocky foundation. That foundation being the stability and consistency I was able to provide for myself.(SELF) The last few years have been about asking for support and being vulnerable. I always thought I was vulnerable but I was just being open. Meaning, I would share my experiences and situations after I had gone through the lesson, never when I was in the hard time. That’s true vulnerability. The friendships that I have nurtured, created and invested have been the best part of my life. I have felt so loved, supported and cared for that I can’t even begin to describe how much that has transformed my heart & trust in people. You all know who you are!(OTHERS) I’ve also thought about how I show up in the world. What I believe in and what I stand for. The values I want to lead with and how I choose to contribute those values. I’ve had the most incredible year working on projects like POTUS on Broadway, hosting the Tony Awards during the WGA strike, building a community & place for healing that takes place with the KINRGY modality and many little moments that allowed me to share my beliefs through my art. What an absolute gift.(WORLD) Social media can be a connector in the most beautiful way and also feel like an invasion of privacy that we freely offer, only to then feel obligated to keep up with what your followers identify and want from us. I shifted the way I posted over the last few years. Sharing and allowing you in my world while also keeping other parts sacred for me, my family and friends. For those of you that have stuck around and been on this journey of discovery and reinventing myself, thank you for your acceptance in my change & growth as a human and an artist/entertainer. I am grateful for my life & the people in it. My heart is full of love to give & I fully receive all the love I’ve been given. Thank you for the birthday wishes. I’m so happy to be on this planet at the same time as all of you!
