ari you're one of the first friends i ever made on here and through you and kate's fics i made SO many other friends that i could literally thank you for half of the online friends i've ever had. you're one of the most loyal amazing wonderful talented humble people i've ever had the joy of talking to and you genuinely make everyday i talk to you 100x better. i'm so proud of every step of your journey, the ones i've been there for and the one i haven't, and for the ones to come in the future that i'll hopefully be present for as well. happy 18th dude, i love you so so much. i could talk about you being an adult now but that's so cliche and lame so instead i just wanna say the earth has been kinder for the past 18 years that you've been on it <3
