21. As in two decades plus one. 100-79. Twenty-one. Like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one. Of course he doesn't really get excited well, at all that it's his birthday but I guess thats what I'm for, to get freaking pumped for him.
I got to know you as a seventeen year old senior in high school and now you're freaking 21, a completely legal adult. Someone who is going to be graduating at the end of this year to start your real life as a legit grown-up. Leaving your past behind you and moving forward onto bigger and better things. I am so glad that you were such a big part of my life the past three or so years. You have taught me so many things and whether you know it or not, you have pushed me to be a better person. I now realize what it feels like to be truly loved by someone and what it feels to love someone whole heartedly in return. I appreciate what it means to have a best friend, someone you can go to about anything and everything, someone who will listen to me be ridiculous for hours. We went through a lot and I just want to say thank you for being there, creating inside jokes with me, being brave for me, being the one I could completely count on, introducing me to your wonderful family, and letting me become part of your life. I'll always be here for you, no matter what. Happy 21st birthday kid (:
PS- guess what...
pretty much made me want to start crying. i love you.
