I haven't been on for a couple of days, so forgive me, but I wrote this for Dan.

HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY, DAN HOWELL. (✿◠‿◠)

Today, June 11, is the anniversary of the birth of one of the most amazing human beings I know, one of the most influential people I've discovered in my life, and my babe at the highest of all honours, Daniel James Howell.



I have to say that coming across your YouTube channel was one of the greatest things that could have ever happened to me. In the two years that I've been a fan of you, I've learned more from watching your 5 minute videos, than from what most influential figures in my immediate life have taught me since I was born. While I don't know you personally, or vice versa, you have truly helped me in so many ways. Just watching a video from you, listening to you speak, and immersing myself in the stories about your life, has helped me discover so much about myself. I've learned that being different is okay. I've learned to be content with the person I am. I've learned that the darkest and quietest of people in the world can have the most colourful and insightful minds. ♥

I'm genuinely so proud of all your accomplishments. Starting off at merely giving YouTube an attempt in 2009, you have blossomed a true living out of what you do. You have grown your own fanbase and inspired the millions of people who follow you now. I'm certain the future will only bring you more and I look forward to enjoying whatever that is. ♥

Thank you so much, Dan. Thank you for bringing me happiness on my saddest of days. Thank you for making me laugh with your witty and sarcastic sense of humour. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for helping me find solace with myself. Thank you for helping me embrace the person I am and realizing that the most shy and awkward people can often have the most to offer the world. I don't know who I'd be without you. I feel incredibly proud to call myself a fan of yours. I love you so much. Happy birthday! ♥
