happy birthday, butterfly girl.

i'm stronger because i had to be.  
i'm smarter because of my mistakes.  
i'm happier because i've overcome the sadness i have known
and i'm wiser because i've learned from my life.

"you’re so 

beautiful.

you’re made of the

stardust of galaxies,

millions upon millions

of years old;

you hold a tempest 

within your bones and

a light in your eyes

that never fades…

you deserve 

only the best in the world

and goddamn I hope 

you get every single thing

you want from life."
