Alhamdulillah. probably the first word i say when i wake up and the last word i say before i go to sleep. All praise is due to Allah. that’s first and foremost. i want to thank every single no, every single moment of under-appreciation & under-valuing, friends that folded up on me, all of it. and i mean it too, genuinely: *thank* you. i don’t know about other people but there’s something about having a point to prove that brings the very fucking best out of me. would very literally not be here without you people (no takesie backsies or ‘hey strangerr!’s btw, suck your mum, for ever). but most importantly, my support-base; affectionately referred to as my ‘goths’/‘gotti’. i tell you all how thankful i am and how much none of this can be done without people like you sticking by me and proudly representing this beautiful gothic thingg of ours that we’re building, but i will say it again — *thank* you. a million hugs and a trillion very gentle, and tender kisses on the nose-bridge for you all ! it’s amazing because as much of a cliche as it sounds, i *genuinely* feel as though i’m *justt* gettin’ started. there’s nothing but greatness on the horizon for every single one of us in this treehouse we’ve built. in spite of the nay-sayers, in spite of the lonely nights and personal battles that niggas dont know that you face on a daily, in spite of all that adversity and resistance, the goths are gonna win. they’re gonna fuckin win and it’s gonna be soo beautiful to see because it’s gonna be absolutely and entirely deserved. the phoenix rises from it’s own ashes yo, remember that. i love you all, see you on the 5th x 🌍🦇
