I like this a lot. (This is not a surprise — after all, I like you — but still, I think it’s nice to tell people, just in case it warms the heart). There is a great deal of peace in learning to let go of things, though I’m not very good at it. I wish you many more beautiful, quantifiable, seemingly impossible goals, and a 30th year that offers many more doors, some of which swing open naturally, and others that need a satisfying shove. Happy birthday, dude. x
