step one

Make a wish.

Actually blow at your phone. I'm serious β€” I wired up the microphone for this.

one good puff takes out about a third of them. needs mic permission β€” nothing is recorded, nothing is sent, it only measures how loud you are. (which, historically, is very.)

step two Β· the credentials

PhD in Travelling

Your bio says it. The registrar has reviewed the evidence. The registrar concurs.

this meter has never once reached the top. we stopped trying to build one that could.

Nightley smiling, lit by a warm spotlight

no jokes in this part

Nightley β€”

I built you a website. I know. I couldn't think of a single thing to buy that would be as ridiculous as you actually deserve, so I made something instead.

Here's the thing I actually wanted to say. Being around you is easy in a way that almost nothing else is. You make whoever you're talking to feel like the most interesting person in the room β€” and I genuinely don't think you know you're doing it.

You talk too much and I have never once wanted you to stop. You get excited about small things like they're enormous, which is, I'm fairly sure, the correct way to be alive.

So: another year. Another five stamps in that passport, minimum. I hope this one is kind to you, and loud, and completely full of the good kind of chaos.

happy birthday, Nightley.
β€” me

one last thing
