Happy birthday, @latinasmoak! Yeeeeeeeeeeeears ago, I remember the two of us bonding over Puckleberry and fanfiction and I’m forever grateful that happened. Ale, you are so, sooo important to me. You’re my best friend and an all around incredible human-being who brings so much love and kindness and humor to every person you meet and every place you are.
You’ve been there for me through life’s many ups and downs as a supportive ear and a constant encouragement. You’ve shared so much of your endless warmth and love from the very beginning. From flailing over pretty people to dissecting awesome shows to sharing incredible music to excitedly liveblogging fic, every time we get a chance to catch up and talk, I find myself grateful to know you.
It’s been a blessing to be your friend and a part of your life and to see your journey unfold. You have come so far and overcome so many things. You’re strong and beautiful and ridiculously smart. I love you, I’m proud of you, and I wish you the very best on your birthday!
