Congratulations! You are now one more step ahead in life. With more experience and wisdom you can now overcome many more obstacles. Life is a beautiful gift and I know that with your great optimism you will never fail to see the wonders of your life... family, friends... they will always be there for you because of who you are. You never fail to ensure the happiness of others. Its a beautiful quality thats awfully difficult to find in this world. And because you bear this special gift, the light will always be shining for you through good and bad times. We all have our seasons, and after all those droughts the flowers will be blooming once again. You have proven yourself to be far stronger than you are weak Robert. You are determined- Choosing the path of your will. Absolutely nothing will stop you from getting what you want and deserve, and you deserve far much more than just a life followed by social rules but of course, you wont have any trouble finding what makes you truly happy... I know that for a fact. With your strong desires I promise you that success will not disappoint you. Its far closer than what you think. You hold no room for failure... it doesn't exist in your case. You have this magnetic aspect thats going to take you farther than the ends of this universe. This striking capacity to blow others’ minds, this grandeur brilliance, this opulence. You give everything new meaning through your actions. You are the winner in all others’ eyes, the honorable one who stumbles yet still works arduous. The one who stands out so that everyone’s head in the room turns. You radiate this electric pulse that brings those around you to life. You have this gentle charm that lures so many to you. There is no misgiving in what you offer or give. I don’t know how else to convince you of the fact that your star is going to shine brighter than any others’. 

You are so intelligent. You see truth in a world consumed by darkness. We are all born blind and only a few are able to gain a true understanding of what life really means. You happen to be one of the few brave enough to accept this truth. You know what it takes to come alive, what it means to really live, experience, and _____ . To know these things you know without a doubt that your life has meaningful purpose. You create promising differences in everybody’s lives everyday including yours. Its ever clear that your energy is not just inherited. Heaven has a plan for everyone who is willing to take it from God’s hands. Grasp yours and you’ll find where ultimate happiness lies. 

Your honesty makes you purer than anyone I know. Its a daily challenge you must keep despite whatever temptations that come into play. You can never just trust anyone. Your word however, is golden and not stained like others’. You are willing to face any consequences resulting from your actions and you accept whatever faults there may be. You probably think Im really crazy for calling you brave... but you really are. It is so easy for many to get caught up in a life infested with lies and unfortunately those become ignorant of the fact that they too are lying to themselves. I find it as a sin... not living who you are supposed to be...the happy person you were supposed to be... as yourself. Truth is angelic and respected highly for it brings happiness and joy to the world and your honesty contributes much to the longing fight for peace and tranquility amongst ourselves.

You are more true to yourself than anyone living on this planet. You don’t ever find yourself hiding because you are not afraid to show who you are. You boast and shout all your vivid colors to the entire vast world. You force those who cant hear to listen and discover the paradise in themselves just as you have. 

Although, what is even more difficult than giving the truth is accepting it. Reality can really bite you hard in the ass at times and drain you from your life and living it. Living with pain you are forced to hide is difficult. You wish to re-live the past, re-live those emotions, re-live the happiest moments of your life and you try your best to hang onto those memories with the most intricate detail possible. After a while, you find yourself back at the same place you once were and you feel completely miserable. Almost like you can literally feel the pain that burns inside you. You beg for it to stop and for it to all go away but you wake up and realize there is no way back, you can only look forward, and you can only hope that all things will become better in time. Forgetting is never the way, neither is denying the truth. You just feel the imprint thats left on you. That is what matters most, what gives you true knowledge, what makes up part of you today. What you have been taught stays and lives within you. Those scars are what keeps all of us moving, what makes us strive to be the better person we want and were taught to be. Never forget what they have done for you. They gave you the greatest knowledge there is to give, the greatest advice, the ultimate greatest gift. That imprint was never intended to dim your luminosity, that imprint only wishes to brighten your gleaming radiance.

Those are just a few wonderful aspects that you carry and there are so much more that Im sure absolutely anyone can go on and on talking about. Its endless. Most of all, you’re just such a beautiful person. And you can deny it all you want if you feel like so but that would be lying to yourself. You possess this charisma in which you can’t contain yourself. Like why do you even care? Why are others’ personal happiness so vital to you? You even come to care for those who are selfish and careless never expecting anything in return. Its the mystery I cannot come to solve. Thats what is so appealing about you. I guess sometimes there are no answers, just existence living side by side with divine reason. You pride yourself of this existence/talent in you... the power to give comfort and light in such hopeless times. And never did I hear you ask for absolutely anything in return. You simply live with what life offers you. Even those around you thrive off your lively presence... so humble, so kind, so unparalleled, so breathtaking, so persevering, so perfect... You rejoice with the truth. And we all have a past/side that we come to regret at some point in our lives, and your past should be no one’s business but your own. So don’t ever let anyone or anything bring you down. Your imperfection is what makes you the perfect human being. So don’t you ever worry and promise me that you’ll continue to live life the way you were inspired to. And remember success is shy- it won’t come out while your watching. 

Keep in mind that I kept all personal feelings out of this. Im not gonna lie, it would have been much more beautiful if I allowed myself to express all my emotions but according to our situation, that would be extremely inappropriate. Especially since... 

And this time I sent you a return address because the last time I didn’t you freaked out. But you have to realize that these are my very own words that I created myself... they are not lies. I know how much you adore words and what I say is absolutely and completely true. I swore I wasn’t going to do this but I just couldn’t hold myself from doing so. Here it goes... Why must you do this to me? I just don’t understand why you had to throw me away. I feel like such a pest in your eyes, and it really hurts me. Please do not continue to cut me off, I cannot stand it. I can’t withstand this any longer. But in the end, whatever decision you make, I can only respect. You are so much more intelligent than I am therefore you know whats best. Whatever decision you choose, I still want to wish you Happy Birthday!!! :) !
