hi, my miong, my yellow!

today is your special day, isn’t it? i’m here to celebrate you and, with the happiest heart, wish you the happiest birthday, my ayi!

life hasn’t always been easy, and this world isn’t the simplest place to live in. there were days that probably felt too heavy, moments that made you question everything, and times when you had to keep going even when you were tired. but look at you now. you’ve made it this far. you’re standing on your own, growing little by little, and i’m so, so proud of you

i don’t think you realize how amazing you are sometimes. you always try your best, even when nobody notices. you keep showing up, you keep trying, and that alone deserves so much appreciation. i’m proud of every step you’ve taken, even the smallest ones, because every big achievement starts with a tiny step that no one else gets to see

thank you for always doing your best, for everyone around you, for yourself, and even for me. having you in my life feels like one of the greatest gifts i’ve ever received. somehow, whenever something happens, you’re always the first person i want to tell. you’re my comfort, my favorite place to run to, and one of the biggest reasons behind so many of my smiles

i really hope you know how loved you are. i hope you get to feel the same warmth, kindness, and happiness that you give so effortlessly to everyone else. you deserve every good thing in this life and honestly, i hope life becomes gentler with you from now on

on your birthday, i wish you endless happiness, good health, peaceful days, kind people, and dreams that slowly turn into reality. i hope you never lose your light, even on the days when everything feels uncertain. and whenever life gets a little overwhelming, i hope you remember that you don’t have to carry everything alone

thank you for simply being you. thank you for existing, for staying, and for letting me be part of your life. meeting you is one of my favorite things that’s ever happened to me, and i’ll never stop being grateful for that

once again, happiest birthday, my miong. i hope this new age brings you closer to everything you’ve been wishing for. i’ll always be here, celebrating you, believing in you, and quietly cheering for you every step of the way ♡
