dear anna - you are the best thing to have ever happened to me. everyday i think about how lucky i am to have you in my life. you always find a way to make me smile and you know me better than i know myself. you’re the best shoulder to cry on and you always know exactly when I need a hug. you keep me grounded and you make me excited for our future. sometimes i think it’s crazy that we met when we were only 15, but both you and i know we aren’t the same people we were back then. i’m so happy to have been able to grow alongside you all these years, and i’m so proud of the amazing person you’ve become. i feel like i get to know you better each and every day and i know that that’s something i’ll never get tired of. if anything, i only wish we met earlier so that there hadn’t been a part of my life you weren’t in. you truly are the kindest, most selfless person i know. your heart is golden and your mind is beautiful. you deserve all the happiness in the world. i love you so much. happy 20th birthday. - kiana
