Hey everyone!
I can't believe it, but today I am celebrating my 40th birthday! It feels like just yesterday that I was a young girl dreaming of becoming an actress. Time really does fly when you're having fun, and let me tell you, these past four decades have been an absolute whirlwind of excitement and adventure.
Reflections on My Career
As I sit here reflecting on my journey so far, I can't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude. From the moment Game of Thrones catapulted me into the spotlight, my life has never been the same. The opportunity to portray Daenerys Targaryen was a dream come true, and one that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
But beyond GoT, there have been countless other projects that have allowed me to explore different characters and challenge myself as an actress. From romantic comedies to intense dramas, each role has pushed me further out of my comfort zone and helped shape who I am today.
Embracing Aging Gracefully
Now that I'm entering this new decade of life at 40 years old (yes folks – the big 4-0), there's no denying that things are changing both inside and outside for all us ladies in our fabulous forties! And guess what? We should embrace it with open arms!
Gone are the days where we long for our youth or try desperately to cling onto fading beauty standards. Age is just a number after all - wisdom comes with experience! So why not celebrate every wrinkle earned from laughter lines?
A Journey Towards Self-Love
Throughout this journey called life – especially within Hollywood's unforgiving industry – self-love becomes more important than ever before; accepting ourselves exactly as we are is crucial in finding happiness amidst external pressures.
For instance: those luscious curves which once drew eyes now serve as symbols representing strength & resilience, reminding me that my body has gone through incredible transformations – both on and off-screen. It's time to embrace them fully!
And let's not forget about that infamous "ass" of mine! While it may have garnered attention for its plumpness in the past, I've come to realize it symbolizes so much more than just physical attributes. That ass represents confidence, self-acceptance, and power - qualities we should all strive for.
Life Beyond Work
While my career has been a significant part of my life, there is so much more to celebrate as I turn 40! One thing I am incredibly grateful for is the amazing people who surround me each day – friends and family who have stood by me through thick and thin.
My loved ones are truly my rock; they provide unwavering support during those inevitable moments when insecurities creep in or doubts arise. Their love reminds me that no matter what age or stage of life we find ourselves in, we are never alone.
The Future Ahead
As I embark on this new chapter at 40 years old (did someone say mid-life crisis?), one thing is certain: settling down isn't something that defines happiness nor success. Whether single or partnered up doesn't matter; what matters most is living authentically with joy & passion fueling our every move!
So here's to embracing the next decade with open arms - wrinkles included! Let us continue celebrating milestones big & small while cherishing every moment along the way. Cheers to turning forty!
Love, Emilia
