: i had such a happy birthday, and now i’m lying in bed! hmm.. i’m not really sure where to start, but thanks to so many people, i think i had another really happy and overwhelming birthday this year.
it turns out this is already the 4th birthday we’ve spent together. so much has happened, and i’ve changed a lot as a person too, but thank you so much for always watching over me. crying and laughing with me through it all. maybe because it was my 20th birthday, i found myself thinking a lot and feeling things a little differently. but thanks to everyone who celebrated with me, i was also able to tell my parents that i’m thankful they raised me into someone who can shine. for some, today might’ve just been a hard or ordinary day, but thank you so much for celebrating my birthday, even from afar. i also want to say you worked hard today too. it was a day that reminded me how many good people i have around me, that i’m never alone, and i felt like i gained the strength to keep moving forward. when things get hard, i can take a short break, and when something good happens, i can share that joy, and when i want to whine childishly, i have people who let me be a kid again and i’m really grateful for that. i don’t know how i was lucky enough to meet such amazing people, and i kept thinking, "will there ever be another time in my life with people this good around me?" it was a day full of gratitude for everyone in my life, and i also made a promise to myself to become a truly cool and mature adult. since there are so many FEARNOTs watching over me, i thought once again that i want to be someone who can give lots of happiness to all of you. just four years ago, i was running forward with only an imagined version of who i am now, and if i could say something to that version of me, i’d just say thank you. that’s how thankful and happy i felt today. from my childhood friends to my coworkers now, and to my most precious FEARNOTs who celebrated with me, i found myself thinking, "i guess i’ve done pretty well living these twenty years" long if it’s long, short if it’s short.
: i’ve always thought of birthdays as something special and loved celebrating them, but now that i have FEARNOT, i think it’s what truly makes the day shine brighter and feel meaningful. thank you so so much. i still have a lot to learn and I’m still lacking in many ways, but let’s take things slowly and stay together for a long long time. please look forward to my 20s too. there will be many things ahead, but i’ll always work hard to become stronger and a wonderful adult. i really won’t forget this birthday for a long time. thank you so much 🫶🤍
: thank you FEARNOT for celebrating my birthday
: within just 24 short hours, i received so many congratulations. i felt comforted, encouraged, and loved and even shed a few tears 🥺
: you’ll celebrate my birthday with me next year too right FEARNOT?? it’s late now, good night 🤍
