HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATER!!!!! i don't even know what to say rn i am actually delirious and it is very late and i've been working on the concept of this website for i don't even know how long, actually, and i know seeing it come to fruition will be a sweet sweet thing. i really hope you love it. by the time you will see this i have definitely had like, at least five breakdowns about this whole thing, and like, spent much of the night staring at moving images and being like wtf why isn't this working in this specific way, and had to improvise, and you know somehow i still think this is worth it because you are like, one of my favorite people in the world and, like. i love you, you know?
i can't believe you're eighteen. i have had the grandest kind of luck, to have known you since you were thirteen, and holy fuck how down in the dumps were we back then? i can't say you don't still have some of the worst days of your life occasionally, but also, dude, christ, am i so happy for you that you're not thirteen and alone anymore. you have such a good circle of friends that have your back and a fantastic boyfriend and hearing about your life right now/over these past few months, even with all the shitty ups and downs that come with being alive and in the world, i'm just. i'm so happy for you, dude, that you are who you are and this is who you have with you while you are this person. i'm so proud of you and so happy for you. you've survived the whole of high school and now you have sooo much more fun ahead of you and so many cool professors and weird college schedules and impromptu adventures to be had and more friends to be made and all these simple joys that are part of being alive.
i am so glad that i got to know you. you're this persistent burning star in my life and i would have known you across universes and i would have missed you even if you weren't even there to miss and i don't know star metaphors right now but i do know you are one of the best things that's ever happened to me and i love you more than words can ever ever describe.
anyway. this seems so so serious next to this big little website so i'll leave you to explore it. breaking time and space, always, just to spend more time with you.
- ink!
P.S. sorry the image clicky hovery thing isn't cooler :( i was gonna fix it but if i have to look at it to do so again i'm gonna crash out so it's fine
