Still so lovely. I hope you're feeling well and that you're writing for yourself, at the least.

thankyou so much. i'm writing as i am able, though it is quite rarely. but i'll never abandon writing (or sharing what i've written) entirely. :)

glad to see you're still keeping this tradition up.
happy birthday, dear -- i know i'm all the better for having you here.

yes, i really do want to keep it up, but it was quite a challenge! since this is the only time i ever put on makeup and style my hair (literally, once a year!), i've nearly forgotten how to do it. :) but it is still fun to enact these old rituals. and i also couldn't hold the camera without support. but documenting the passing of each year is worth it, i think.

also, thankyou mikey. *hug*
