happy birthday to my bestie! | a video

to my dearest amy, my kindred spirit, my diana.

my words will never be antiquate enough to say the things my heart feels, but i'm going to try.

it's been almost nine years since we've met, and in those nine years, i've danced. i've cried. i've laughed. i've lived. and you were always there by my side, dancing, crying, laughing, and living.

you are my constant, my north star- always the brightest and always shining.

you are the one who tells me what i need to hear, even if i don't want to hear it.

darling, you are a firework, wrapped in stories and fueled by grace.

your eyes are always searching for the pain hidden behind mask, your ears are always listening for the cries of those who can't see the lights of home anymore, your hands are always open, always giving. but your hear- i'm quite positive that your heart is made up of the essence of summer and dancing. i've never met somebody with such a full heart- full of dreams, full of joy, full of love, and so so full of life.

i wish words could say how proud i am of you, of who you've become and how you've grown, and how you are growing.

you are my brave heart, with a streak of wild and you are going to do rad things in this world.

so here's to being eighteen,

and here's to the all the adventures we are going to find, coffee we're going to drink, and conversations we're going to have. 

i love you to the moon and back.

love,

marcia

((it's my best friend in the entire world's birthday today, so you should go leave her some love and birthday wishes!))
