just kidding.

it's another year and every time we do these i look back on the many adventures and conversations we've had, and i am reminded of how amazing it is to have friends like you. although i can't say the same about you being like my older brother since we're the same age, i consider myself lucky to have someone as wise as you to talk to. i am always inspired by how sure you are of yourself and your aspirations, your sense of responsibility, and just how you carry yourself. it makes me want to be a better person. but then you also inspire me to be a crackhead with you guys, with your wit and punchlines that gets everyone started.

it's been a while since we properly talked and i miss the days when we all got together to dick around. still, i understand it's just life taking us where we need to be, and i know we can always get together for the funsies coz nothing's ever really stopped us, not even timezones or old laptops hah.

i hope things are going well for you, bro. i know you probably have some rough days here and there, but i know you can handle it,  coz you always have, innit. plus, you have your bros and your dogs to comfort you and give you a good laugh whenever you need it. who the bros and the dogs are, i'll leave that to you hah.

thank you for allowing me the privilege to greet you on your birthday this year too, and for considering me a friend, javi.

i hope this year brings you success and bare goodies. safe.
