Birthday Message To Self By Kingsmith Akinwale

Happy Birthday, King! 🎉

Today, I celebrate you much more than just a new age — I celebrate your growth, grace, and the quiet battles that shaped you over the past year...or two.

This year has been one of both highs and lows — moments that tested you, stretched you, and ultimately transformed you. Through the wins and the wounds, you’ve evolved. You’ve been reminded that growth isn’t always loud or glamorous; sometimes, it looks like showing up on the days when nothing makes sense. Sometimes, it's in the decisions no one sees — the internal work, the silent discipline, the daily recommitment to becoming better.

But you didn’t walk this path alone.

To my wife — thank you for being my anchor, my calm, and my constant. Your love is a grounding force, your support a quiet strength that lifts me higher than I could ever go alone.

To my kids — you are my why. A big one at that. You remind me daily of the legacy I’m building. Your laughter, your innocence, your growing minds — they fuel my purpose and inspire me to rise, even when I’m tired.

And to my family — thank you for standing with me, believing in me, and holding space for me in every season. Your encouragement, your prayers, your presence… it all matters more than words can express.

I am not the same person I was a year ago. I’ve learned to let go of what no longer serves me and lean into what truly matters. I’ve grown quieter in chaos, stronger in storms, and more rooted in faith. I’ve come to realize that progress is not always visible — but it is always happening. 

This year, I became more honest with myself. I learned how to say "no" without guilt and "yes" without fear. I stopped shrinking to fit into spaces I’d outgrown. I made peace with letting go — of people, patterns, and paths that no longer aligned with who I’m becoming. And in return, I found clarity, self-worth, and alignment.

So today, I honor my journey, my lessons, my scars, and my strength.

Here’s to another year of rising, of loving deeper, living fuller, and becoming more of who I’m meant to be.

Happy Birthday to me. I’m proud of how far I’ve come — and deeply grateful for everyone who helped me get here. 

It's been a journey for me...not a race but a marathon.💙

To the best and the amazing year that is starting today, I say I'm ready. Let it unfold.
