Yo... how do you start a letter yo... anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY SWEET 16!!!! I hope you've been liking your gift so far trust there's a bit more coming but this is the main thing cause I'm broke (heartbreak emoji) like not saving for something broke like actually (cry emoji)(wilting rose emoji). I actually wanted to make a game for you, that, or a desktop pet inspired by Rocky (the alien), or like literally one of the websites I linked in explore (the chess bots one) but obviously I lack the time to learn the skills to make this and I wanted to actually give you something on your birthDAY itself so do forgive the ACTUAL GARBAGE that this is

I know we don't talk as much as we did last time but I hope you know you're still important to me. eWWWW SAPPYYY UMM............anyways sometimes like Im amazed that you still talk to me cause I think I am very um to put it lightly flawed, so sometimes when some things happen to me i don't tell you cause then you'd think lower of me or something... also like whenever I embarrass myself same thing. Thanks for still lowkey tolerating me even though I continuously make many mistakes. I think you are one of the kindest and most patient people I know, and of course this goes without saying, one of the smartest not just academically but in other ways i don't know how to put into words... like... what like philosophically? but that sounds so pretentious sorry guys I do that on accident sometimes. Please don't become like some guys who are perverts or creepy (pray emoji) I'm slowly losing hope in men thanks.... Im sure a lot of your other friends think highly of you too, because I believe that you matter to them in their own special way. You are (image at the bottom) and that is what I see the most of you. All that to say that I do owe a decent chunk of how I am now to you. Thank you for staying up to finish up coco preparation and then not getting mad at me when I basically scrapped everything you did...

But, as I think you already know, I am a little worried about you and I'm sure you know why. Like you do know it's ok to like like chill once in a while I KNOW THAT IS VERY TYPE B FRIEND TALKING TO THEIR TYPE A FRIEND CORE BUT LIKE as much as I do understand that everyone's expectations are really hard to ignore, but this is gonna have an effect on you. As that one audio says you're going to die doing this you're going to die in that stupid costume!! (I touched wood after this) I am always open to talk so if you need to just like.... hit me up or whatever... (nonchalantly). Basically what I'm saying is chase your dreams but don't sprint so fast you fall. You are not your grades, and you know that if you take things too seriously and they go south the crash is going to be devastating. just like, like ask for help when you need it ok you can't pour from an empty cup, please take care of your health so you make it to exams in one piece thanks

To the best astro club vice and an even better friend, from an "average Joe", happy birthday.
