This is 40 ✨🥂 Honestly, I'm not one to get se This is 40 ✨🥂Honestly, I'm not one to get sentimental when it comes to birthdays. But...All I know that 10 year old Christopher who would have preferred to bake cakes and muffins instead of running around outside with other kids, Christopher in his 20's who studied cookbooks and felt like his dreams were out of reach and Christopher in his 30's who felt unfulfilled and uninspired with the "traditional 9-5" is so so proud of 40 year old Christopher who is "doing it" by turning his passion into a dream job.It's never too late to do something.If you dream of doing something, just go out there and f*ing do it. In the end, you're the only one who is going to regret not trying.
