“We do not describe the world we see; we see the world we can describe.” – Descartes
“Conquer yourself rather than the world.” – Descartes
The world is so full of beauty to be seen— it's indescribable. So if we cannot describe it, all we can do is continue to see it and appreciate it. The most beautiful thing to exist has to be human emotions and connections. It is people who are the source of our greatest happiness, even when everything else is at its lowest.
The world cannot be conquered, so the only thing we can do is conquer ourselves, therefore taking control of our own worlds. You've experienced 16 whole years of your world. That’s a massive achievement in itself. I still find it hard to believe that we've been friends for this long. The more I think about it, the more unreal it seems.
I don't admit it to you enough, but I really enjoy talking to you. It always puts me in a good mood. You've been through the messiest stages of my life and somehow continued to stay. You have always been there to listen to me whenever I needed it. Whether I had a good day or a bad one, you continued being there for me.
You are one of my favourite people in my life and a constant reminder of the fact that the most beautiful thing to exist in the world is human emotion and connections. I have never had a friend who I could have endless philosophical and deep conversations with. Most people barely understand the things I say, but no matter how complicated or technical our conversations got, you always seemed to understand completely.
I enjoy all sorts of conversations with you, not only the intellectually challenging ones. I like having the freedom to switch between sounding smart and being completely stupid most of the time. Thank you for letting me be myself whether that was an intense nerd or someone who enjoys the lamest of jokes. You deserve everything good in your life and more.
Heidegger says, "The most thought provoking thing in our thought provoking time is that we are still not thinking." He would get a heart attack seeing the current state of the world. Whenever I talk to you, it encourages me to think more than usual. I had to put a lot of thought into what to give you as a present for your birthday before I settled on this idea, I hope you enjoy going through this website. I've rambled on too much so I'll stop here. Thank you for existing. Happy birthday!
I'm so artistic fr
