You've always been my safe warmth the kind of happiness i keep choosing, again and again.

Thank you for being such a beautiful soul. i really really admire you, and i hope you know how much you mean to me. being around you always makes me feel comfy and happy, like everything gets softer when you're there. you make me feel warm in ways i can't fully explain.

i'm so grateful that i got to meet you, and even more grateful that i get to have you. thank you for staying, for choosing me, and for loving me so gently. you make me feel loved, enough, and worthy, like i don't have to try so hard just to be deserving of love.

everything you do for me, every little effort, and every moment you spend with me means so so much. you're always there for me, even on days when i'm not okay, and somehow you still manage to make me smile. i don't know how you do it, but i'm thankful every time.

thank you for all the memories we've shared, the laughs, the long chats, and the patience you give when i struggle with things. you make everything feel easier to understand, and life feels a little kinder with you in it.

happy 19th birthday, sayang. this is my fourth time celebrating you, and it still feels just as special as the first. i love you more than words could ever say, always. 🤎
