✦ twenty-six ✦
oh i could barely read what I had written so parsing all of it here as well —
Happy Birthday,
You turned 26 today, a bit slow considering you are the faster one among both of us. But finally now that you are here i hope you have enjoyed your journey till this point. 25 whole years! I did not really enjoy it by the way but i do hope that you have.
Today is also Indian Teachers Day & that also sounds right. I have learnt a lot from you so happy teacher's day as well.
I know for you birthdays can feel like a reminder. that time is moving, you are getting old, but see them as a checkpoint, the one day where people who care about you get an excuse to say that out loud,
{ i am happy you exist & i miss you dearly }
your friends, your family, me, even though a lot are physically not present with you.
Also ofc you get to eat sweet things without any guilt. It is your special day so do things that your heart desires.
Stay safe, stay happy & stay real to your heart.
you earned every pearl. ♡
