First of all, I feel genuinely blessed to have you in my life, Yicu. And even though I might not always show you the same energy whenever I say it, please know that I really, really mean it. I’m grateful for your presence, for your kindness, and, most of all, for your willingness to be my very best friend. Out of all the people you could have chosen to spend your time with, I’m so glad that somehow, you chose to make a little room for me in your life, too. It might sound simple, but being someone you’re willing to call your best friend means more to me than I probably know how to explain.I also want you to know how much I appreciate you for choosing to stay, even when I haven’t exactly been the most present friend. HEHEHEHEHE. I know I can be such a ghost sometimes, and my ability to disappear from DMs should honestly be studied at this point. 😭 I’m sorry if there have been moments when I haven’t been around as much as I should have, or when my silence might have made me seem like I care less than I actually do. I promise you, that has never been the case. Life gets a little messy, and sometimes I get caught up in my own little world, but I hope you never mistake my absence for a lack of love or appreciation. The fact that you continue to make space for me, to welcome me back, and to be my friend despite all that means so much to me. Thank you for being so kind to me, Yicu. Thank you for not making me feel like I have to be around every second to deserve your friendship. And thank you for letting me come back to you, again and again, with all my random thoughts and questionable banter. I really hope I can be a better friend to you, too, because you deserve that kind of effort and love just as much as you give it to others.And if there’s one thing I could wish for you beyond all the usual birthday wishes, it’s this: I hope the universe always finds a way to be kinder to you. On the days when things don’t go as planned, I hope something good finds its way to you anyway. When you’re tired of trying, I hope life gives you a reason to keep going. When you feel like you’ve been giving too much of yourself to everyone else, I hope someone comes along to take care of you, too. And when the world feels a little too heavy, I hope you find gentleness in the smallest places—in a conversation, in a familiar laugh, in a quiet afternoon, or in the simple reminder that you are loved. I hope the universe returns every bit of kindness you’ve ever given, in ways you never expected and at times when you need it the most. You have such a lovely heart, Yicu, and I really, really hope life treats it gently.Please know that I’ll always be rooting for you and supporting you in everything that brings you happiness, whether it’s a big dream you’re working towards or a tiny little thing that makes your day better. I hope this new chapter of your life brings you more laughter, more love, more opportunities, and more reasons to be proud of yourself. And, of course, I hope you get to enjoy today to the fullest, because it’s your day, and you deserve to feel every bit of love coming your way!Thank you for existing, Yicu. Thank you for being you, for being my best friend, for staying, and for making my little corner of the world a happier place just by being part of it. I might not always be the best at saying these things out loud, but I hope you can feel how sincerely I mean every word.
