Happy birthday, Frances Bean Cobain! The daughter of the late Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love celebrates turning 30 Thursday.

In an Instagram post reflecting on the milestone occasion, Cobain shares, "20-year-old Frances wasn't sure that was going to happen."

"At the time, an intrinsic sense of deep self loathing dictated by insecurity, destructive coping mechanisms & more trauma than my body or brain knew how to handle, informed how I saw myself and the world," Cobain writes. "Through a lens of resentment for being brought into a life that seemingly attracted so much chaos and the kind of pain tied to grief that felt inescapable."

Cobain then mentions an unspecified "event on a plane" that she experienced, which she says, "brought me closer in proximity to death." However, Cobain feels that what happened "catapulted me towards running at this lived experience with radical gratitude."

"I'm glad to have proven myself wrong & to have found ways to transform pain into knowledge," Cobain shares.

"Entering this new decade I hope to stay soft no matter how hardening the world can feel at times, bask in the present moment with reverence, shower the people I am lucky enough to love with more appreciation than words could ever do justice & hold space to keep learning, so the growth never stops," she continues. "I'm happy to be here & I'm happy you're here too."
