Happy birthday, Kryshala

A year ago we were two strangers on a Discord server. Here's our year, in our own words.

By the numbers

One year, counted

When we talk

9pm is our hour

Messages by hour, Nepal time. Basically nothing before 7am.

Every month

Never really stopped

The quiet stretches were exams and me moving across the world. We always picked back up.

From me

You messaged a random guy because he sounded smart on Discord. Somehow that turned into a year of SAT panic, Bluebook screenshots, college results, bad days, good days, reels at midnight and an airport goodbye.

You were proud of me before I had done anything worth being proud of. You said it on almost every good day I had. Thank you for being that kind of friend.

This year is yours. I'll be here for every update, the same way you were. Let's crack it together, like we said on day one.

Happy birthday, Kryshala.
