Happy birthday to my MaryAlice! ❤️🥹🎂
First of all, congratulations on adding another year to your age. I hope you know that somewhere in this world, there’s a certain somebody who is genuinely grateful that you exist. Yeah, that person is me, in case you’re wondering. 😂❤️
I wish I could package all the good things you deserve into a box and send them to you today. I wish I could take away every worry, every little thought that makes you feel alone, every moment you’ve had to question your worth, and every time you’ve had to be strong when all you really wanted was for someone to hold you and tell you everything would be okay.
But since I don’t have that kind of power yet, you’ll have to manage me and my small birthday wishes. 😭😂
I hope this new age is kinder to you. I hope it brings you the kind of happiness that doesn’t have to be explained, the kind of peace that lets you sleep without your mind fighting you at night, and the kind of love that makes you feel secure without having to wonder where you stand with people. I hope you experience beautiful things that remind you that life isn’t always going to feel the way it does in its difficult moments. And whenever life gets overwhelming, I hope you remember that you don’t always have to figure everything out at once. You’re allowed to take your time. You’re allowed to have bad days. You’re allowed to not be okay sometimes. None of that makes you any less deserving of good things.
And please, in this new age, I hope you learn to be as gentle with yourself as you are with the people you love. You deserve some of the kindness you so freely give to others. You deserve to be celebrated, not just on your birthday, but on the random days when you’re doing your best and nobody notices. You deserve friendships that feel safe, love that feels honest, and people who choose you without making you feel like you have to beg for a place in their lives.
Now, let me talk about us small. 😂❤️
I’m genuinely glad we found each other. Out of all the people we could have met in this life, somehow, we became friends, and I don’t take that for granted. I hope that years from now, we’ll look back at all our random conversations, our nonsense, our little episodes, and all the things we’ve shared and laugh about how far we’ve come. I hope we get to witness each other grow into the people we’ve always wanted to become. I hope I get to see you win, celebrate your milestones, hear about your good news, and remind you of how far you’ve come when you forget.
And yes, before you start getting emotional again, I still intend to be rich enough to spoil you. 😂 I haven’t forgotten about the car promise. Though, as I said before, my mum and I will have to receive our own cars first. Please manage that arrangement. If the money is not enough for a car, we’ll start with pizza and a movie. We move according to budget. 😭❤️
The Early MaryAlice Archives
Viewer discretion advised. MaryAlice, please don’t shout.
But beyond all the jokes, I want you to know something: you don’t have to wait until you’re having a good day to talk to me. You don’t have to pretend you’re fine every time we speak. And you don’t have to earn your place in my life by always being happy, available, or having something interesting to say. You’re my friend, and I hope our friendship continues to be a place where we can both be ourselves, even on the days when being ourselves feels difficult.
I can’t promise that life will always be beautiful or that we’ll always get everything right, but I hope we keep choosing understanding whenever we misunderstand each other, honesty whenever things get complicated, and kindness whenever life tests us. I hope we get to grow older without growing apart.
Happy birthday once again, MaryAlice. ❤️
May this new chapter bring you closer to the life you’ve quietly wished for, the kind of love you’ve hoped to experience, the peace you’ve been searching for, and the happiness you sometimes struggle to believe is coming. May you have more reasons to smile than to worry, more moments of genuine connection than loneliness, and more beautiful surprises than disappointments.
And on the days when you forget how loved you are, I hope life finds a way to remind you.
For now, just know that Jesse is here, still your friend, still rooting for you, still planning to be rich someday, and still loving you small. 😂❤️
Happy birthday, my girl. I hope this year is good to you. You deserve that and so much more. 🥹❤️🎂
