Magic is in the air

많은 일이 있었지만
잠시 접어두기로 한다.

내겐 더 중요하고 소중한 게 많아서
쓸데 없는 곳에 신경 쓸 겨를이 없다.

가족과 떨어져서 보내는 첫 생일.
물론 기분이 이상했지만.

학교는 다르지만,
아침에 케익과 선물을 들고
집 근처로 찾아오는 친한 친구가 있고.

수업 쉬는 시간에
컵케익에 불을 붙이고
노래를 불러주는 친한 전공 친구들이 있고.

Jenni, you’re a badass but also the sweetest girl imaginable.
Your friendship has been so important to me throughout our time here in NY
and I love that we are on this journey together.

I love your spirit, your energy and your enthusiasm for life.
I appreciate so deeply those conversations we’ve shared when we’ve been open about
how tough this can be (and has been) for us, but I’m forever inspired by your strength;
I know your life will be filled with happiness and meaning that you search for.

I know this because you radiate such positivity and character
and that just attracts positive energy your way.
Your birthday is a time to reflect and celebrate you.
And I, for one, am so glad of your birth
because you make this world a better place for us all.

Happy birthday!
