Happy birthday Manny!! My fellow aspiring novelist, writer, creative, but most importantly, human being who's trying their best :))) You have amazing energy and presence, from our beach adventures to good haus parties to wonderful writing clubs that turn into yap sessions, I feel we’re always learning a lesson together: it's good to be creative and all, but it's even better to live your life and connect with your people! Thanks for being in my life and being the gateway to a wonderful community. Have the best year ahead!!!
