Dear twin,

No matter how long it's been and how busy we get, you will always be my one and only twin. Nothing can break our bond PERIODT. It's hard to believe that we've known each for almost 3 years now and we've shared so many both good and bad experiences together but at the end of the day they only brought us closer together. Things may come and go but I know that you never will. I've said this before but I genuinely mean it when I say you're the half of my heart.

It's honestly uncanny how similar we are. From the moment we met we shared a lot of thoughts and opinions. I the first time I pm'd you I was so nervous and knowing that you felt the exact same way took a load off of my shoulders LOL. I can never forget our iconic twinning moments and that time we switched profiles and genuinely had people doing double takes. That was a moment I don't want to forget and I think it just goes to show how well we know each other that we can literally act like each other. Another thing I love is just how much we can relate to one another. When I can't think of something you always know what to say and suddenly it brings everything together. As an older Kpop fan I felt sometimes out of place and insecure but you being the same age as me brought me back to earth and made me feel welcome. We just have that affect on each other!!! And since you're half of my heart, I consider you my other heart. Me without you wouldn't be quite whole. In fact, I consider you to be my better half. As much as we are alike, I can't help but look up to and strive to be more like you.

I don't know if I've said this enough, but I ire you so much as a person. I just want you to know how much I and so many others, all of the girls included; have so much respect for you. Like you are genuinely, and I mean this in the utmost serious way, one of the most amazing people who I've ever met. You're such a beautiful person inside and out. You are so selfless and empathetic. Despite your own hardships, it's evident how much you want to help people. Just when I think that your generosity and conaideration has no end, you go and do something even more heartfelt. I can't even count how many times you've gone out of your way to make people feel loved and appreciated, even when you yourself needed it more than anyone else. You've always been there for me in my what feels like way too many times of need and I can't even begin to explain how much that you've helped me. I actually think it's because of you that I was able to get through some very trying moments because I had you with me along the way. And girl you are so strong as hell I could never. I knew you don't believe this yourself but I think you should give yourself credit because Idk how you do it. You could have stacks upon stacks of stress and worries but you still perservere even to the point when you shouldn't have to. From my perspective, you are hands down one of the most amazing and strong women I have the honor of knowing.

It's an honor that I got to meet you during my first days in kpop and amino in general because you not only made kpop a more welcoming place for me but you also gave me one of the greatest gifts of all. An amazing, irreplaceable, long term friend. I'm grateful to have you in my life and meeting you was life changing for the better. You made me realize that friendship should not be one sided. You made me realize that you don't have to put up with someone's behaviors just because they offer their friendship. You've done so much for me, the least I've always wanted is to be able to do the same for you. Not because I'm obligated to but because I want to. Because you deserve it. You deserve everything good in the world and I hope you know that. Regardless of what anyone says no one can take that away. I know for a fact that none of these people could handle what you have handled and still come out a better person like you have. You're the kind of person I aspire to be so never change yourself for anyone else. Anyone who tries to drag you down, is just jealous they can't be half the person that you are. Never let anyone think you are less than. As silly as it may sound I've felt many times that I don't deserve you. And life doesn't deserve you like anyone in your life is SO lucky to have you they don't even know.

Happy birthday Mariah, I have so much love for you never forget that. I can only hope to provide the same love and for you as you have for all of us. You are the best most amazing most amazing most beautiful and most awe striking queen no one can compare!!!!!

Sincerely, Joonie :sparkling_heart:

Dear Mariah,

Over the past few years it's hard to imagine how quickly you became so important to me . You're like a 3rd parent older sister I've always wanted and needed. I know you've been having a hard year 2019 has been a terrible year for everybody but I am really glad you get to celebrate your birthday in some peace. You're a wonderful person and an amazing sister I wish that we weren't so far apart. I miss being able to talk to you everyday but knowing that your life is starting off with your new baby Nathaniel, my wonderful nephew makes up for it. I don't know what to say there's so much I need to tell you and so much they have to tell you in person and not through a blog on K amino

You , Joonie and Lani mean so much to me you guys have saved me from many horrors in my life and I can't thank y'all enough. I the 1st time I ever spoke to you on the got7 amino You were going to their fan meeting in Los Angeles and even though it was only my 2nd day in the group chat you still got me to in on the Skype call while you screamed your head off yelling Youngjae and how we all kept count of how many times. It was there that I realized that I had found my family online didn't really matter to me at that point I found people who took me in and treated me like family from the get go. It was an amazing feeling that haven't felt in a while, in a long time actually. I can't thank you enough. I the 1st time I came to you for advice, even though it was a very serious topic you made me feel OK with myself. I was not used to talking to people about my history and you made me realize that it was OK and not my fault and I should not have to worry about others feelings about it, that only my feelings mattered that meant so so much to me. I don't know how else to put it into words how grateful, appreciative, indebted and thankful I am to have you in my life.

I love you Mariah and you will always be my sister

:purple_heart: :blue_heart: :purple_heart: lots of love :blue_heart: :purple_heart: :blue_heart:

Dear Sweets,

My soul sister, one of my best friends throughout time and space, here comes another year that we get to celebrate your existence and trust me this should be a global phenomenon. To me, you are truly the epitome of beauty and strength. I have told you before that your beauty knows no limits for you are exquisite inside and out. And part of that beauty to me is your strength because Lord above knows you can handle and have handled so much. You absolutely deserve the world and so much more. I wish I didn’t live so far from you so I can steal you and baby boy away for a day and we can have a relaxing day in, away from the stresses of everyday life.

I would set up a little spa with face masks we can do while baby boy takes his nap and play all your favorite live stages of any and all your biases. If you needed rest I would handle the baby. Maybe even cook you meals and a cake/cupcakes if you wanted. And exploring more about our pasts together.

Speaking of pasts, I how I first figured out that you were one of my soul sisters. You got hurt and when I heard I suddenly started crying super ugly like. I thought it was weird since we had only just started really talking that week, but nonetheless I cried for the rest of the day. I the next day I did my stuff and sent you as much healing energies as I could. I did that for three days and just praying that you would wake up soon. Then we you did, I was so happy that I cried some more, but happy tears this time.

The more we got to talking the more we connected as if we had always been the best of friends. I guess in a way we have been and I eternally hope that it stays that way even past the recognition of time. I 100% believe we are sisters and your input/opinions really mean a lot to me. It shows with M. You were the one who said to give in to the situation at the time and let go of my fear of getting hurt from this amazing guy. He tells me always that really is grateful for your help in convincing me to let him get close. He still doesn’t like how I would drop him for you or anyone of the girls in a heartbeat, but tough stuff man. Sweets and my other friends come first. XD

Also he wants to wish you a happy birthday, too. We love you sissy and that you are beautiful no matter what anyone else says, inside and out. You are strong for dealing with all that you do and still wanting to be the best version of yourself that you can be. You are not a fool or stupid or any other negative descriptive word that anyone can of. You are a literal QUEEN :princess: 🏻 Sweets!

I believe it, M believes it, Joonie believes it, Shelby believes it, and all of your friends/sisters believe it. I kindly ask that you take a few minutes to tell yourself that in a mirror soon. M and I also want to wish you the happiness of birthdays and may there be many more to come. We hope and pray that those years be filled with good health, blessings, and positivity for you and your family.

We love you lots,

Lani and M
