happy birthday, love. i cannot believe that i am completing one and entering yet another year of admiring, supporting, cherishing, and loving you oh so dearly. troian, when i first discovered who you were, a short yet at the same time, oh so long ago two years, i was first entering high school, a shy, quiet, light-souled little thing. now i am a junior, and will soon be preparing for the "wrap-up" of my grade school experience, and i could never be any more thankful for you being, and continuing to be, a part of that journey with me. by being someone that i look up to. respect. learn from. and, from one of the brightest rays of gratitude in my heart, having the pleasure of meeting you and sharing who i am (hopefully that was a wonderful experience for the both of us, considering i'm pretty awkward!) . from being light years ahead, considering and honoring mindfulness, and shaking the world into something brighter than it was before, it is no lie, old souls find each other. and i will never be able to express or emphasize in words how grateful i am to have found you. this may be your earth-blessed day, but everyday is yours, t. all my love. happy happy day on the starting point of many new enlightening journeys. xxx, m (@fringillidaekin)
