☂ happy 31st
you’re 31 in age but surely you’ll remain a child at heart-carefree, energetic, optimistic, loves to find the fun in everything, and can lift everyone’s spirits just by being there.
you still fit into my category of people i can’t stand but you also give me countless reasons to respect you from the bottom of my heart. whenever i don’t spend my time wanting to smack you, i hug my knees in pain thinking of how wonderful you are.
you’re undoubtedly one of the most confident people i know and i can’t express enough how fascinating it is to watch you embrace the person that you are with all authenticity-and you don’t even have to try. you can even make the stupid things you do, not seem stupid at all. they become simply…tegoshi. ex: how you would lay on top of a sleeping koyama after having just played soccer, all sweaty and icky. first of all, who would even do such a thing? oh, you. do we judge you? yes. but do you care? no. why? because there exists no ill intention behind your actions and you do them because you are tegoshi, and that's okay. so we just nod and think to ourselves, “hm, typical”, because you are you, and you do you-and that’s beautiful.
happy birthday. keep doing what you do. keep doing you.
