A (longer) Message to Harry Styles.
After a hectic day of not feeling my best but smiling through it, I’m home and have somewhat organised the million and one thoughts going through my head. Maybe not. Maybe this will be a mess anyways and it won’t make sense even after the 5th re-read. But here goes nothing, I suppose!
Today, coming to my dashboard has made me beyond giddy. Everyone, no matter where they are in the world, is wishing you a Happy Harry Birthday, all puns intended. We’ve called it Harry day and personally, since I wasn’t active whatsoever, I’ll call it Harry week, Harry month even so that I can continue giving you support and love all month long. I’m just so happy to see the world happy and coming together to make someone happy with birthday wishes! It makes me giggly!
I said I was going to be in pain if I didn’t see your face today, but then I thought that I would be in even more pain if I saw it. This will make sense, hold up, stay with me.
So here’s my wish to you on this day, and for any other day of your life. I wish you happiness.
You see... At first I had a selfish thought that I wanted to get a glimpse of your smiling face as you celebrated with friends and family and that maybe a pap photo of you having a good time will make me see that you indeed had a good day and that’s all I wanted, to see you have a good day. And then I told myself, what could make his day better? I know what. Not getting photographed. Not having to worry about paps, or people hacking into personal private photos, not having to act like you’re happy but instead getting to be happy with the ones you love surrounding you. Not having to be The Harry Styles teenage heartthrob (can we still say teenage heartthrob or...?) That would make your day better, maybe, right?
I wanted and wished that you’d have a chill and very happy birthday, a calmed and relaxed, and really happy, a truly happy birthday. Do I want to see your face? Why yes, yes I do. You’re my baby and I wov you, loads. But because I love you I also want you to have the best day and maybe that includes not letting me see your face and that’s ok. Because I’m all up for your happiness first. I hope you had exactly that.
I sit and think about how much being THE Harry Styles must weigh on your shoulders. I don’t know cause I’m not you and I don’t know you, so it’s all just imaginary things, things that might not be real after all, but if there is any weight that you’d like to get off from the fact that you get to be and most of the time have to be this big pop-star, I wish that today, on your birthday you get to not feel it over your shoulders. I hope you can get a break from it not just today but any day you want because you should be able to.
On your birthday Harry, I wish you just that.
That you can be Harry.
That you can do you, and not be judged by anyone, or have anyone find out where you are. That you can sit and smile and share some time with friends, and get all blush-y and giddy over the million and one birthday messages that blew up your phone today. I wish you had that for more than just today. I wish that you’re surrounded by people that allow you to be Harry, that you’re comfortable around enough to just be Harry, to just be another 23 year old lad in the world. I wish that someday down the road you remember your birthdays like this. Just you and the important people, and no one else outside the selection, ever knew a thing.
I also wish you and send you strength (I cannot believe I wrote that right on the first try) I wish you the best of launches into your music career, and even if you don’t give us, if you don’t give yourself one, know that I support the decision, and I wish you strength to make the decision that takes your life wherever you want it to go.
You’ll never stop being relevant, Harold. You’ll never stop being this golden boy that has blinded the world with his shine. You’ll be forever in our hearts. And I thank you for that. For being you, unapologetically, and for rocking it. Thank you for being such an amazing artist and person. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, thank you to your family for sharing you with us. I hope that you feel all the love we’re sending, because you deserve it, you’ve been through a lot and it’s made you who you are today. I cannot wait to hear from you, whatever it is you have to say, as long as it makes you happy.
Well, I’ve gotten sidetracked, as usual. I don’t know if my point has been made, I don’t know if I even had a point to begin with. Maybe by doing this post I’m treating you like THE Harry Styles instead of just Harry but know that if you ever needed me to, I would try, so hard, to make my company a place where you can be Harry. So with that being said...
Be nice, be good, be you, Harry, cause that’s just what we like and need. I hope you’ve had the happiest of birthdays, it’s still your birthday here, next time you’re more than welcome to come over, and we’ll party (even though I’m so incredibly boring) all night or until you’re tired of hopping around, and I’ll bake you a cake (well some brownies cause cake is not my forte) Just know that I love you. I don’t know about anyone else and the people that might reblog this, blah blah, I just know that I, personally, wov u loads. Thank you for everything. I hope you smile every day of your life.
All the hugs/cuddles, always,
Iv. xo.
p.s. that line is new. If you can give out love since you love love so much, well then... I love hugs... so there’s that :P
