Some people are born with tornadoes in their lives, but constellations in their eyes. Other people are born with stars at their feet, but their souls are lost at sea.

But you, you are rare and different, you were born with stars at your feet, but constellations in your eyes. What a blessed human being.

Let's start off clean and fresh.

We met when we were 7 years old. You said you knew me and talked to me and I was the shy girl who's afraid even talking to another person. You said I was really girly too but nevermind. Today I'm going to talk about you.

Emylia Syuhaida was born on November 13th, 1999. The year when the total solar eclipse occurred with the most-viewed in human history. Kendall Jenner, Emma Stone and Lorde also born in the month November which is not that important. Discovery Channel dedicated this month as the space month which we know that you absolutely love stars, galaxy and stuff like that.

My point is, November is a month full of wonder and magical things.

From my perspective, you are a girl who likes to act tough (mentally and physically) but tries to save yourself from drowning from your problems including what or who are surrounding you. My advice is,

Break free.

You'll never know when you're going to die so live today like there's no tomorrow but never disobey our religion's teachings. Forget what they say about you. What they say doesn't even hurt you physically so what's the point of being hurt. Don't get me wrong, having insecurities is a part of being a Muslimah but don't let it beat you to your knees. You are worth it.

You are not a skin color, a pretty face, the number of inches around your waist. There's so much that you've been through that nobody knows. You are more than a label, more than pain, girl, you're more than your mistake.

Being you is exquisite enough. Remember, beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.

Be that as it may, I wanna recall our moments when we first met (the day when I truly remember you).

We met at our class when we were in form 1. I came in late and at that time, you guys were putting covers for your study table. I didn't know anyone back then except Farah. One day, we were in one of the biology classes, studying science. I didn't see what the teacher was writing on the blackboard so I decided to borrow your book to copy the pieces of information. From then on, we started to talk more with each other.

We talked about Malay novels. I recommended you the "M.A.I.D" novel. Absolutely love the novel. I'm still doubting your "My Precious Iris" novel being better than mine, though. Ever since, we never stop talking.

Back then, both of us didn't have any cellphone. People often confused on how we communicate. Of course, we use our phone houses.Duh. Now, we have our own phones but rarely works for both of us since yours is broken and mine doesn't have any credit so it's practically useless.

I remember our late night talks on your bed talking about our direction in the future. What are we gonna be soon and what will happen to us.

However, I don't want to say the cliche things people say like "Happy birthday, wishing you a long life"

First off, death is not knowable for any human being so the conclusion is I can't do anything for your life span.

Espérons que votre anniversaire est bien passé et rien ne peut vous empêcher de faire les choses que vous aimez et de rester sassy
