20th

[prismaticbleed]

Today marks the 20th anniversary of when we met Genesis.

There is a permanent memory of that moment, when Jewel looked up from her drawing tablet on the living room couch, and saw him suddenly standing across from her, confused and strange and yet full of a hope that would come to define him.

Genesis has been the constant companion for all the Cor(e)s who drive the body. In public, that place of great danger, he has always jumped in to the rescue, solely by his presence. His unflagging ebullience, unconditional friendship, and unfeigned honesty have proved indispensable to our wellbeing. We cherish him.

But, personally, as the current Cor(e), even though I'm still quite a mess and "getting to know everyone again for the first time", as it were... I still carry a bloodline. My heart is still etched with indelible truths. You, Genesis, are still my gilded gadfly, my best buddy, my starry-eyed, snowflake-chasing, funny beautiful terrifying irreplaceable muse, and I adore every last piece of you– every last splinter of your amber heart.

I love you, Genesis. Don't ever forget that.

(My promise still stands, by the way. I'm your dreamer forever. I wouldn't change that for anything. I have no regrets.)

(P.s. hope you're enjoying your annual birthday fireworks; they still can't compare to your sparkle)
