birthday boy notes compilation

Despite of you're always be my baby, you were never really be like a baby to me. In this year 10, with you knowing almost all the choices, rules, anything bitter and sweet and bittersweet too, and me too, spending days with you seems a lot easier. If its not lovelier.

Easier, because you actually can already do 'you' in every way somehow. Because you actually recognized it already how the world, and me, going each day thoroughly. Because you actually have had yourself pretty much together, like i always tell you to, but never let you acknowledge. Well, actually its quite a lot im not letting you acknowledge yet. But then you acknowledge some just by yourself. And i see you have a pretty good grip over there :")

Your strength are my prides, and your flaws are my favorites, that i would be grateful over and over again. Grow as best baby, right on your lead.

Shaka, 11 yo. Loves... anything diy, lifehacks, cardboards, pretty boxes, mixtapes, experiments... hoarding... no. exploring surface and materials. Probably cooking... well he loves anything crafty. and mostly related to weaponry... no. survival and defense... dont ask why 🙌 He goes big with idea, needs lot of works in the detail tho. Got to watch out that crash n burn mentality.

He loves too, the great outdoor. Playing dirts and rains. Companion here and there. Various kind of peoples amuse him. Such an all terrain kids inside out. He loves too, pokemon... I think they fill the gap of his weakness to animals 🙂 Its more like how to love animal without really have to touch them 101. But on that, hes improving.

He loves too ...acting bad. Am not saying hes that good. But um... he tends to exxagerate and brag about silly naughty annoying lowkey useless little things that he do. Yet he would only listen from some... few, of the best, from the top. The ones that of course surely wont buy any of every blah things that he do 😑 May he doesnt unnecessarily put himself in difficulties.

He loves to stock up things. Piles of saving. Just to be able to splurge it again carefreely for what or whom he's into. I have a mix feeling about this. 😅

Dear my heartfelt boy,

May you capable of make things clear.
Not emotional, not rude, not confusing. Be honest, never sway, always.
Dont lie even when you cant say the truth, just say that you cant say.
Then embrace, always for good. Be the guy yourself would proud of.

May you find ways to lower your gaze.
It has the power to take you away from true bless of beauty.
Dont take it lightly, visual and looks does matter.
Be mindful with your desire, also put focus in the attitudes.
Good values are what will truly satisfy you in peace.

May you maintain good boundaries.
Be kind and polite to everyone, because thats what we do.
Bold and sweet personal gestures are meant to be special.
Dont be cheap on your words, it has consequences.
That way we're taking care of ourselves, and our loved ones too.

Love is a strong word
But no word is stronger than the light inside you
to see the ultimate truth, clearly
and the guidance to find it, trully
and the courage to choose it, wholeheartedly
and the wisdom to do it, kindly
and the strength to live it, sincerely
Be ready to take off mas
Dont forget to be that awesome :)
