#feeling so loved

You have been a huge inspiration for a lot of ppl in the Rise fandom, but especially me. Your talent for world-building and detail has pushed for me to up my game in my own au, and I commend you for your ability to stay the course and keep your story just so insanely organized and coherent, despite the mountain of lore that’s there. Kudos to you for being one of the absolute top, who’s constantly raising the bar and driving the creative force of this fandom!!!

Cupcakeslushie! I didn't know you were a fellow meemaw as well! It really is nice seeing all the people in this community in the older brackets! Especially meeting wonderful creatives such as yourself! Your words mean so much given how much you inspire me as well! All of your AUs are so dear to my heart and always manage to get my creative thoughts flowing!

Haha the praise feels unfounded, but it still makes me happy to hear and feel like I've given back somehow to this wonderful, inspiring community! Thank you so much and thank you for all you do too!!

Started Thursday night, the night before my birthday with a free cookie and milkshake.Then on my actual birthday on Friday with a nice leisurely wake up and purple ube heart shaped waffles (with my new waffle maker, I give myself the best presents).

Called my parents to open the presents they had shipped, baked, and then made myself a trial run of the “unicorn kisses cocktail with unicorn ice cubes. You can mostly see on in the glass in the top right corner.

Then I got to ride my horse that I love so much and even jump her. Not a perfect lesson but I stayed on and had fun so a great day for me!

Then I went out to dinner with my boyfriend at wonderful restaurant called linger. I am the absolute worst at taking pictures of food but it was all so good

Pictured are the scallion pancakes with short rib, and pork potstickers. Not picture we’re the bao bun trio, duck, pork belly and Korean fried chicken (omg the buns were so soft). Wagu sliders with sweet potato waffle fries and chicken satay lettuce wraps. And a lavender raspberry cocktail (it was pink and not purple but still so fun). And then we got milkshakes at little man next door and I got purple cow (black raspberry with white and milk chocolate chunks) and that was purple.

Saturday I mostly spent prepping and cleaning for my party which was so fun and full of purple

I sadly got very few pictures during the actual party(none actually) but I live here so I put my dress crown and sash back on and took more today because I wanted fun pictures!

I also got many wonderful wonderful presents and cards from my parents, friends and boyfriend.
