dear tiana;

today is your birthday and i really wanted to do something special for you since its a special day today, however nothing i came up with would truly show you how important you are, so i decided to stick with a simple letter and i hope thats okay!

i was thinking back to when we first started talking and it made me all smiley and soft uwu. we spoke quite a few times before and we used to speak sometimes especially in the ka team chat, however the mblaq takeover was truly a blessing to our friendship. since that takeover, we started getting a lot closer as we found each other to share our mblaq stuff with and fangirled a lot together. then came one of my favourite group chats ever; screaming. you, muffin and i. these things have provided me with so many great memories with you and i would like to take you on a trip down memory lane today :triumph:

so it's obvious we both love mblaq. whenever i see anything mblaq related, i automatically come on here to show you, and sometimes you like to attack me with them but that's fine :sob: although mblaq is just a group we love, i think they've played a huge role in our friendship. i that time we emailed g.o to ask where he and joon got those onesies from to we could recreate that picture, when we matched mblaq related names together, and those times we watched mblaq stages together on both screening rooms and rabb.it, when we got salty together over how they were treated and we began making fun of rain afterwards by predicting what g.o's next video title would be. there are a lot of memories i have with you that feature mblaq and im so thankful that we both have someone who we can share our love with, where we can talk about those things together for hours and create these memories that are most of the time hilarious and are completely irreplaceable.

we actually seem to have a thing for matching names. first there was that time we got a lil gay in the ka team chat and yeah, that happened, uwu. then there was that time, like i mentioned, when we had matching mblaq related names and that was super fun! and we mustn't forget the time where we had matching names in memory of that time muffin forgot to ask for coffee in her coffee. that's another one of my favourite memories- a simple thing such as muffin not asking for coffee based coffee somehow kept us entertained for hours, it was a cute mistake and we kept making fun of muffin and telling her to enjoy the syrupbucks didkds. thats another thing i love about you, tiana, the fact that no matter how simple the situation may seem, you never fail to make me laugh. you are hilarious, and i always find myself smiling like an idiot every time i talk to you.

there are a lot of memories ive had with you that i will cherish forever and none of them would be the same without you. ive explained a couple so now ill list a couple of others just so you never forget :triumph: when we watched those high school musical videos. i found that so fun and i dont know why but that memory will always be special to me? we found our theme song (here) and we casted muffin as vanessa which was so cute but so funny. then there was also that time, not long ago, where we watched criminal minds together. i fell in love with the characters and you introduced me to your CM love, spencer, who is almost as cute as you:,)) i had so much fun that day, even though that terrifying ad will haunt me forever. also your cute little snapchats that i get to open every once in a while always brightens by day (has anyone ever told you that you are THE visual??) and those voicenotes you send will never fail to make me soft.

there are so many memories that i would love to remind you of, but ill stop here. you have now reached the end of memory lane :sob: :cupid:

so now its time to say thank you. firstly i would like to thank you for how much of a great friend you have been to me. you are one of the most amazing people I've met on this app and im truly blessed that we somehow had the opportunity to become such good friends. you have done an awful lot for me, more than you realise and i couldnt thank you enough: you have listened to me when I've needed it most, you have made me smile countless times, youve made me laugh more than i ever thought i could, you gave me memories that im able to keep forever, you stuck by me when others haven't, you have been a best friend. im incredibly thankful for the friend that youve been to me, and i love you so damn much. im grateful that you've been there for me when i really needed someone, that you have provided me with so much happiness. i hope i have been able to do the same for you too, and i hope we can continue to be there for each other in the future. i cannot wait to see how our friendship will grow stronger in the future, and the memories we will continue to make. thank you for being a friend nobody can replace, i love you.

and secondly, i would like to thank you as a member of this community too. without you, this community wouldn't be how it is today. you've been such an amazing leader to this community and i dont think others understand that enough, i dont even think you understand that enough. you have helped shape this community into what it is now; a friendly place and a safe place for so many people. this place feels like a second home to me, i can come on here and be myself, i can post what i like and i come online and automatically feel loved by the friends ive made - and thats thanks to you. you've worked so incredibly hard on this community, you've been terribly patient and the amount of respect i have for you for that is insane. i know that it can be difficult and stressful sometimes, so i would really like to remind you that you're doing such an amazing job. the fact that you do all of this voluntarily and put so much work into doing it is incredible and you're doing sososo well, im proud of you and you should be proud of yourself too. this community wouldn't be the same without you, thank you tiana for all the effort youve put into it. youre an amazing leader.

finally, happy birthday!! i hope you have such an amazing day like you deserve. youre growing up into such a strong woman i feel like a proud mum even though you are the mum :triumph: i hope you enjoy the card and gift i got you, im sorry that you'll receive it a bit late, its not much though im sorry! i love you so much, thank you for everything and please make sure you enjoy yourself. this day is YOUR day so make sure you do whatever you want! i hope youre surrounded by those you love today, and that you smile so much until your mouth aches :rage: :rage:
