Unspoken Milestones

Six years ago, I woke up with weird medical quasi-emergency. After tests and scans and weeks of waiting, my doctor eventually diagnosed me with a chronic condition. Shit happens. Everything is under control and I am in very good health, promise!

Since then, I usually pause on July 25th to take stock of how I'm feeling, and reflect on how far I've come since 2014. Zero fanfare, just a few moments spent quietly with myself. (Writing this blog post might amount to more time than I've ever dedicated to the subject in one sitting lol.) By no means is this little ritual a secret. I just like having a personal moment that's all my own :)

Do you have odd milestones that you like to commemorate (or even celebrate) by yourself?
