Two women smiling and hugging in a dark indoor setting.

Here is my message:

I still remember how we met twice as strangers, and only on the third time did we start becoming friends. I’m so glad I joined the gay pride—because from that moment on, I’ve gotten to know you more and more. Contrary to your calm appearance, you’re this wonderfully “nonsense” girl who always attracts the most ridiculous situations 😂.

Twenties were such a great time. I feel lucky to have been by your side, watching you push through challenges and eventually plant your roots here in the Netherlands.

Happy birthday, Yuting. I’m sure your 30s will be triple as fruitful! 💖
