Every once in a while I realize (please read?)

that I have my face in GIF form

and I feel really warm and fuzzy inside

because how many people besides super fucking famous people get to have GIFs of themselves?

you guys are just wonderful

and yesterday i was feeling down, and just now I was too

and then I came across some artwork on my hardrive

and now i’m crying a little

because I don’t know many of you at all

but you made these things and I’m in them

and I can’t tell you how much it means to me, or describe to you how honored I am that you took the time to make them

but on the eve of my birthday, in a new place, far from my family, I want to let you know that you have made me feel very loved, and for that I can’t thank you enough or convey to you the sincerity of what I’m saying now

but i love you all, and if you or anyone you know has ever made anything of me, please let them know that they make my day, each and everyday

and when I’m sad, they cheer me up

and when I’m lonely, they make me feel surrounded by friendly faces

and that tomorrow, when I’m getting shizzy for my 21st birthday, I will raise a glass to all of you, because you inspire me to keep going and I love you

that’s what I realized, and I will never, ever forget it <3

Thank you so much
