“It’s my 48th birthday today and it marks that I’ve now been a public person for half of my life. Such a strange, strange thought. Anyway, grateful to all of you who are part of my community here!” she tweeted.

The former White House intern, and current activist, found herself forced into the spotlight at the age of 24 after admitting her affair with then-president Bill Clinton.

Take a look at the post:

“I highly doubt you'll read this but I was down and out and between jobs and took on a waitress job at a restaurant in NYC. You were a guest of mine one time and were SO nice and polite to me. I dealt with my share of "not so nice" diners...you were not one of them. Happy birthday!!” recollected a Twitter user.

“You’re a true survivor. Here’s to at least 48 more,” shared another. “Happy Birthday Monica. You didn’t ask to be a public person, but what you have done for others because you are is remarkable. Much love,” expressed a third.
