Happy 20th birthday, Soena!

It’s honestly kind of wild that you’re turning 20 today. Looking back at everything—the endless late-night talks where we completely lose track of time, sending each other tracks, and all those random inside jokes in our chats—you’ve easily become my favorite part of every single day. Even with the distance between us, talking to you makes me feel like we're places we've never been. You just have this effortless vibe that completely catches me off guard, and honestly, it's like you're made for me. You are, hands down, the prettiest thing I've ever met, and I care less about everything else when I'm with you.

As you start this new chapter today, November 5, I just want you to go after everything you want without holding back. I hope this year brings you absolute peace of mind, endless moments that make you smile, and the strength to get through whatever comes your way. I hope you get to experience new things, achieve every single milestone you’ve set for yourself, and always remember that you are the light of my life, my DNA. Laugh until you can't breathe, appreciate the little things, and never let anyone tell you you're anything less than a home run.

Please never forget that no matter how many miles are between us, I’m always going to be right here in your corner, cheering you on through it all. Even when the world feels chaotic, talking to you feels like a cold & rainy day made perfectly warm, and nobody else could ever take your place. I pray that your twenties treat you with nothing but kindness, gentleness, and overwhelming joy. Thank you for just being you, for this undeniable chemistry, and for making my days a whole lot brighter. Welcome to your twenties, my favorite human—nothing else matters as long as I have you around.

— Yours truly, Jaxcello.
