The birthday celebrator, also shared her birthday message in a post on her Instagram account with 1M followers. “Thankful for another year of experiences, filled with moments of joy, lessons learned, and even heartaches that have shaped who I am today. The heartaches, though painful, have only deepened my understanding of love. I now know with certainty that no darkness exists that cannot be expelled by the faintest spark of light. Feeling extra grateful for the little things.”
