Happy birthday to the girl that goes by many names, the prettiest girl in the world, funniest girl I know, a wolf, Ms. Mad, and a dragon after 12. I know you said no gifts for your birthday but I wanted to give you something special, and apparently words were the only loophole. So today we celebrate you and make today about you. You deserve it more than anyone else. You are someone who carries yourself with a kind of self-love, self-appreciation, and confidence that could inspire anyone to become better. In 86 days you have changed my life more than you realize. I think the most important one is saying "Anywho." It causes EMOTIONAL DAMAGE because it means the conversation is coming to an end, and who wouldn't want to spend time with you? Ahh, the infamous phrase: one day or day one. I don’t know how many times I’ve thrown my phone, but wow. In those 86 days, learning and understanding has been nothing but stunning, from the fire in your love for books being reignited, to the obsession with K-dramas, and your outlook on life truly is healing. One of the most desirable things about you is that you are someone with amazing taste. Whether it is music, K-dramas, movies, memes, dress sense, or hairstyles, you always do an impeccable job. Maybe not snacks though, because again… what even are Flyers. So thank you, Octavia, for being so amazing. Nala has the best parent, your siblings have an amazing older sister, and your mother has a beautiful daughter. God really showed off when He made you. I hope the next year of your life is kind to you, and selfishly, I hope I still get to be part of it. “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalm 139:14
