to my 3rd favorite girl in the world,
Happy 18th birthday to the best friend, sister and cousin anyone could ever have. I know that you oftentimes feel that you're alone and that you have no one. But let me tell you this, you're not. I love you and always remember that I will always be here for you no matter what (even when you don't want me around anymore). I know that you don't feel it and I'm sorry for that. I suck horribly at expressing emotions, big time. You don't know how much I've wanted to tell you how important you are to me when we're together and how much I appreciate you and the all the things you've done for me but I just don't have the guts and the right words. I am not sweet, you know that. And as I write this, I've realized something. Maybe that's the exact reason why some people left me. But do you know what makes me smile right now? It's the fact that you're not one of them. And I want to thank you for that. Thank you for not letting me feel that I'm not alone despite the distance between us right now. Thank you for sticking with me even when I shut you out sometimes. Thank you for letting me feel needed and appreciated. You don't know how much it makes me happy whenever you tell me that you're proud of me. Minsan ko lang yan marinig. Hahaha. But most of all, thank you for not giving up on me. I'm a piece of shit and we both know that. I cannot thank you enough for our cousin-ship(lol). I know that you hate birthdays, I do too. But please don't end this day hating everything in your life, especially yourself. And do not be sad if some of your so called friends forgot your birthday. Just be thankful for those who remembered. Quality over quantity, right? And I wish you happiness in life. Not the temporary one but the lifetime kind of happiness. You are loved, always remember that. You are one of the amazing persons I know. I look up to you and I am so proud of you as well. Just continue this day even if it's shitty. And I hope this letter somehow made your day a bit better. I love you!
