Happy 36th Birthday, Pagnia!

Inspiration
Written By Pagnia Xiong

On Saturday, June 5th, I celebrated my birthday. I stand here today carrying 36 years of life, including setbacks, resilience, pain, joy, and success.

I realized it's the most experience I've had at anything and that I am the best version of myself right at this moment. And depending on how one looks at it, it could be worth celebrating or not.

I'm celebrating. I’m grateful. I feel like I'm just getting started. Like I've been preparing for something greater. Like the best is yet to come. 'Cause...it is.

So, bring it on, life!
