Dear Allefrii,

Hey. :)

Happy birthday! By the time you'll see this, probably. I love you a lot yada yada you know the stuff already.

One thing I don't know if you know is why you matter so much to me, so that's what I'm writing about. Kinda. I'm trying to make this as short as possible.

Actually I really don't know how to put it into words.. like.. words can't capture how good you are at what you do. People may know you for the surface level stuff- you're charming, you're practically a genius, you're.. Allefra. It's corny, but to me you are so much more than that.

You're strong, most of the time. You put your heart into solving problems (I think) and know when to stop- also I know you're a good person at heart, despite all your flaws. Sure, you're not the best at communicating but one thing I like is how genuine you are deep down. I think I've said that before. You're the reason why I stopped looking at stuff in a black-and-white perspective. And I learned a lot of stuff from you, actually. In some way, you helped me take care of myself more, what's right and wrong, and even how to love myself. Kinda.

And I hope you love yourself as much as I love you. You're so freaking real and just being around you, just hearing you talk about the stuff and the people you love makes me feel so alive. You have a certain irreplaceable shine in your eyes.

You don't have to say I love you back, what matter's most to me is that you're okay. I'm okay.

I just wanna tell you as well that it's okay to take things slow and do stuff one at a time. Acads, relationships, your mental health, etc. I know you have good stuff ahead of you, never lose your spark, and when you feel like you are, naw ur not ur js tired take a break cuz i said so. My girl, I'll always root for you for whatever you do.
