Valery M. Ortiz Instagram – I’ve never been one to get wrapped up in a number. I love birthdays! I love celebrating life! But this one has felt so different in my head for so many different reasons. So many unspoken expectations of what 40 years looked like. So many outspoken conversations of all the dreams 40 years already made come true.
So here I am. 40. Wow. I’m so grateful for all of the experiences that got me here. All of the world I’ve gotten to see. All of the beautiful humans I’ve shared life with. A convo, a laugh, a scene, a trip, a workout, a hike, a good pizza, a class, a hug, a win, a good cry. Thank you for shaping these 4 decades into a life I’m so incredibly proud of and for giving me the validation that these relationships, these experiences are everything I’ve done right so far. Really, really right. ☺️
These photos resemble a vision in my head born so many years ago. A thought. A desire. A little wish turned dream come true. And to have had my mom there behind the camera and also share in this adventure was beyond priceless. No words actually. So here’s to more thoughts, desire, little wishes, as I make MANY more of these in the years to come.
This – is – 40. 🥰 | Posted on 02/Aug/2024 03:14:10
