happy birthday to my other half #23, cali!! i srsly hope yk how much i look up to ya not just as a friend but as a person as well—since first day in class. literally tho there’s js sm much about u that i layk, especially the way u actually stand by what u believe in. i’ve always admired ur political stance and how u’re not afraid to think for urself, question things, and care about stuff and yeah alzo especially abt how much u appreciate girlhood—i still remember that when u randomly mentioned it : p

u gen got da combination of being so opinionated and passionate & ztil being incredibly soft and thoughtful—despite easily getting overwhelmed w questions by our random cms. yes. 😭 also.. thank you for making the people around you feel that what they care about are worth caring about : ) and actually living by your stance.. not being performative abt it yk—there's js so many hypocrites out there damn. also.. i hope u know how lovely that quality is. am genuinely proud to know someone who has so much conviction and with that said.. has so much heart. you're so right about its okay to be woke ❤️‍🩹

really... i hope this year gives u so many reasons to feel loved, appreciated, and proud of the person ure becoming. u deserve a life where u never have to shrink urself just to make other people comfortable ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

happy birthday, cali. we love u sm, and i’m so, so grateful to have met someone who actually makes sense. please stay opinionated, stay wokez stay loud about the things u believe in, and most importantly, stay the girl who makes girlhood feel a little more beautiful just by being part of it >
