Torrey DeVitto Instagram – This weekend I turned 40.
I don’t know a lot, but I will tell you what I do know.
Societal norms are fake, false, delusional and pulled from a reality I refuse to belong to.
I am 40 and getting married to my best friend and soulmate.
I am 40 and pregnant with my first child.
I am 40 and feel healthier than ever.
I am 40 and feel like my life is just starting and I couldn’t be more excited for it.
To age is the greatest gift we could ever be given in this life. Embrace it. Never run from it. We all have to do it. Repeat that. We all have to do it. So why not love the process together? Learn to love the changes and shifts in your body. Your body that carried you to this very moment. Your body that has worked harder for you than anyone else.
A friend once told me that when you’re sleeping and your body makes a sudden jerking movement, it’s your brain interpreting the complete relaxation of your muscles as falling and in order to prevent this the brain orders the muscles to twitch. How cool is that?? Your body protects you even when you are asleep and completely unaware. Hearing that made me feel such a love for a body I have often taken for granted.
At 40 I am finally understanding what the word contentment truly means. Stop searching for the next best thing. It will get you nowhere. Life is a process, but learning to love that process for all its ups and downs are key. And for my last piece of 40 years young advice – for the love of god please eat good food ! Nourish yourself! And make sure you do it surrounded by the people who you truly love and love you back.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes ! ❤️🎉 | Posted on 11/Jun/2024 07:50:59
