A very happy birthday to you, @hopedreamlove!

I honestly can't believe that I've know you for more than one and a half years now, feels like it was much shorter :') In the time that I have known you for, I feel like I've come to appreciate multiple parts of you -- from the you who was super-excited/enthusiastic when we met, to the sort of more-composed person I feel you've grown to be, all while maintaining a ton of responsibilities on the side.

One thing that's struck out to me in our conversations, is how even if you take a while to reply/get back, there's infectious energy in your texts, that's sort of able to subliminally instil a genuine desire to continue the conversation. There really is never a dull moment, even when we're speaking about seemingly-obscure things like powdered elaichi (or should I say, especially when we're speaking about seemingly-obscure things like powdered elaichi?) and I feel like I would not be wrong if I were to say that I've enjoyed every moment of it.

I appreciate how supportive a being you are, how you've shown belief in me, and how understanding and compassionate you've been over the past year (but if the year is too long a trip down memory lane, I needn't even look beyond the past week). How you possess the ability to be appreciative of the tiniest things is also (seriously) beyond me.

Thank you for being there. As you're growing older, I hope that the coming year is filled with moments that you would have hoped for. As for today :P, once again, a happy happy birthday, twinno.

(I hope you have a brilliant time.)
