dear tram,

hello there beautiful girl! you are finally 15! we're the same age now :) my goodness you make me feel old, even though you're just young for your grade! how do you feel? is being able to tell others your new number exhilarating? :) anyway, tram, i just wanted to write you a letter to tell you how amazing you are, because you deserve it. <3

is this the first year i've ever told you happy birthday!? i remember in my birthday letter we talked about knowing each other for at least two years... why is this the first time omg!! this is going to be tradition now ok. it's official <3 LOL.

i know you won't accept/agree with a lot of this, but i wanted to write this anyway, because how could i not? <3

tram, every time i talk to you, i am so happy that i am able to do so. you are such a great friend and i know i've said this so, so, so many times, but i really don't know where i'd be without you. we haven't spoken for a little bit, but that's okay! we're the type of friends where we don't need to talk every day. we have those lapses in between, but we're still a+ friends nonetheless. <3

tram, you are so inspirational. i honestly want to be like you someday. you are so diligent and persevering. you are so smart and dedicated in your studies, even though you may not think you are.

i also wanted to let you know that i hope you know that i am alwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwaysalwayzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz4lyfe here for you ok omfg like furreal friendz. i don't care if you just have a stupid joke you want to share, i'm your girl!! <3 never forget this, please! i know sometimes that maybe the things you want to talk about are not something that i would understand or that it's something you only want to talk about with cathy, but i hope one day that our friendship will grow so that i will be able to be just as great as friends with you as you are with your other friends, like cathy <3

i really hope one day that we get to meet! i remember in my bday letter that you said your mom would like me, and thinking back on it, my parents would love you!! honestly i think you are everything they wish i was. you are so wonderful and the closest to perfect a human being can get. you are so lovely, tram-bam. <3

i'm sososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososo sorry that this is late. :( i literally remember thinking friday night, "isn't tram's birthday in january? i should really check her fb to make sure so i don't miss it!" and then your birthday wasn't listed on your fb!! and then late saturday i saw pictures of your birthday dinner and i was like "OMG HOW IRONIC!!" and then i thought your birthday was on MONDAY and not SUNDAY and OMG i set an alarm to write your birthday letter sunday night and then i went on facebook after work and IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY ON SUNDAY OMG so that is why this is late!! i am so sorry omfg i am a failure WHY ISN'T YOUR BIRTHDAY LISTED ON FB THOUGH LOL but it's okay i am never forgetting after this year <3 JANUARY 27. JANUARY 27. JANUARY 27. <3

i just realized you are a capricorn! seventeen magazine has this thing on their website where it checks the compatibility between two signs for either love or friendship and i just put our signs in and guess what it says? apparently, sagittarius and capricorn are actually quite opposite from each other! they don't have the best friendship--sagittarius thinks capricorn is boring, while capricorn thinks that sagittarius is undisciplined. guess what? i don't think you're boring at all!! i don't blame you if you think i'm undisciplined though. in a way, i think i am too LOL. but anyway! i think you are have such an interesting life! so many things go on in your life while i am sitting around like a potato. you are such a busy bee and you partake in so many out-of-school activities.

man, i really wish i could've given you a gift! i don't know what i would've gotten you, but i definitely wish i even had the option to do so!! one day, i will ship you a present and it will be lovely :') i love shipping stuff out to people... i think it is so fun. i've only done it once and even then my cousin did it for me but idk i think it's cool to get stuff in the mail! i think a lot of people think that though LOL. anyway.

i am now running out of things to say! i'm sorry if i rambled a lot or if i didn't make sense, but i don't know... i love talking to you so much!! never forget how wonderful you are, tram-bam! i am so glad we met and i hope we never stop talking! i hope your birthday was everything you wanted it to be and more! i hope everyone sang you happy birthday when they saw you and ugh, i just wish the best for you overall <3 i love you so much tram-bam! happy 15th birthday!
