Happy birthday, little fighter. Dear my younger, present & future self. Let me start by telling you how incredibly proud I am of you. Surprised? I know I hardly ever tell you that you’ve done enough. I still recall how a couple of years ago, you cried your eyes out on your birthday because you felt like a failure. But through those tears, the fighter in you was determined to make something out of the mess. Rivaldi, I am happy that you’re finally beginning to see your potential. For years, you had people tell you about how much potential they saw in you. But you never really saw it. You held yourself back for so long because you felt… Well, not good enough. Look at all the awesomeness the world would have missed if you didn’t let go of that silly thought. This is just to say you are doing great and I can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish in the coming years. One last thing, I do hope you always remember to hold your head up high, stay true to yourself no matter what, and never let the world rob you of that beautiful smile. Happy birthday little figher. Warm regards, Yourself.
