Inspirational Origin Story

When my wife turned 30, I wanted to gift her something special for her birthday. But that day, we were traveling in Laos and taking an overnight sleeping bus. I had to think hard about what I could gift her when I didn't have anything. I wanted to give her something symbolic for opening a new chapter. As I was listening to music, it reminded me of our time together. The things we experienced in the past, the present moment, and what we want to achieve in the future. So I came up with her Thirtybute — a tribute to turning 30. It is made up of 10 poems with 3 sentences each. The sentences are made of the past, present, and future. For her tribute, I made sure that each word in the sentences associated with something related to her, me, or our relationship. At the bottom, I listed 30+ associated things to see if she would be able to guess any. Of course she loved it! 😎 I also enjoyed writing it and said it wholeheartedly to show my love for her. This act led me to create this platform to share my unique perspective and wish for people to celebrate important moments. I hope others can be inspired and moved as much as I was. Use time wisely, playfully, and literally!

Taking overnight sleeping bus and celebrating new chapter with adventurous heart!
