HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA

[darkplace]

Guess what? It is the most fantastic day of the year, because it marks the day that you came into this world and what a beautiful and wonderful day that was! I could try summing up the many ways that I love you, and I am going to do my best, but I also know that I will miss out on so many things, because you are perfection. You're absolutely fantastic and wonderful and sweet, and you're the best best friend that anyone could ever ask for. I forever feel so blessed and lucky that you are in my life period, but not only are you in my life, you are my absolute best friend, my favorite person, and my RP partner forever and always. You are so very important to me, and I love you so much.

You are incredibly sweet and giving. You always think about others whether that is in little ways like sending someone a positive note to remind them they are loved or in big ways like making a whole post so you could give love to others. You are an incredible graphics maker from manipulations to icons. Every time I see something you have made, I can see the care and love that goes into it, and you give so freely with this too, making icons or manipulations for others frequently because it makes you so happy to give. That is such a wonderful, precious thing about you. You are so very giving, and it is one of the many reasons why you being in anyone's life is such a blessing to that person. You are one of the most giving people that I have ever met, and I love that so much about you.

On top of that, I have known you for many, many years now, and I have been amazed and so proud to see the growth that you have had over those years. You've become stronger. You've become more confident and open and more able to do what you need to do for yourself whatever that might mean, how ever scary that might be. You do it, and I am so proud of you for all of your growth, for your direct communication, for your willingness to express the truth even when that is scary because it is so important. I have also been so blessed to know you, talk to you, and learn from you, because I have grown too from that experience with you. You've helped me to grow into a better, stronger person too, and I am so proud of the both of us for all of our growth. It hasn't been easy, and I couldn't have done it with anyone but you.

You are so amazing as a best friend, because you don't just tell me what I want to hear but you're honest and truthful so you can help me as best as possible, and I think that is so beautiful and important for the both of us. It is part of why I have been able to grow so much, and I love that being your best friend, it means you love me even when I'm at my worst. You love me at my best and my worst and everything in between, and that is so very important and meaningful to me. I love you the very same way at your best and at your worst, and I find it so important that we can come to each other at any time with anything at all to talk to each other. I am usually so shy, and I have such a hard time opening up to others, but I feel so comfortable talking to you about any subject at all. I don't have that with anyone else and I want to thank you for that.

As a RPer, you are equally giving in threads. You come up with amazing plot ideas and scenarios. You write your characters with such attention and care, and you really display their emotions through the words that you write. You display who they are in a really deep way, and you have so much fun with it whether it's a serious thread or a cracky one or something in between. I can always tell when you're having fun, and I'm having just as much fun playing with you. You are an absolute treasure to get CR with, to RP with. I feel so very lucky that I have been able to be your RP partner for many years now, and I think back on all of the stories that we have created together, all of the threads, all of the CR that has been generated, it really is magic. Playing with you is like magic, like lightning in a bottle every single time. All of my characters, they have grown because of their CR with your characters. They've become more fully developed characters in my head, and they have grown as people as well. Your characters and your CR help to move things forward, and I cannot get over how beautiful it is. Every single thread we have done, it's absolute magic, and your characters give mine and me so many emotions. I love getting tags from you. I can never have enough of them in my inbox, and it will always, always be that way. I love each and every single one of your characters more than I can say, and my favorite will always be Elena. I'm just so happy that I've been able to develop so many stories, so much CR with you.

You're the reason I'm still RPing. You're the reason there is so much joy in RPing for me so thank you for all of that.

So really, I could go on for even longer, because there is so much to say about how wonderful and amazing it is to know you and to be your friend. I hope that today is an amazing day for you, that you feel how amazing it is that you are here on this world another year, because I am so very grateful for you beyond words. You are a blessing and a gift, and I can never say enough about how much you mean to me.
