dear ariana,
it seems like just yesterday i was in the fourth grade. i was an icarly fanatic! i swear, i watched every single episode of that television show that was ever made. one day while i was watching icarly, i saw a commercial for a new television show called 'victorious', i thought to myself, “hmm. that looks like a good new show!” i started getting really excited for it to premiere. before i knew it, it was march 27th, 2010, and that day ended up being a very special day in my life. i still remember the very first scene when tori and her school partner where sniffing fish mold for their class project. your very first line was, “oh, hey! you're tori, right?!” you have always been my favorite character. what i didn't realize was that an amazing journey was about to begin after that first episode.
later that day, i decided to look your name up on the internet. some youtube videos of you then came up on 'osnapitzari', and i watched you're cover of 'rolling in the deep'. i fell completely in love with your voice, and i decided that i wanted to learn more about you. i later found out that you starred in '13': a musical on broadway. i loved your personality & you're laugh so very much, and i continued to watch victorious.
in the summer of 2011, i was then introduced to instragram. i looked up you're name, and the user @arigrande came up on the search. you had 139k, which seemed like so much at the time! you have come so far from that point!
over the past years, so many things have happened to this fandom, good and bad. what we have learned from these experiences is that they all happen for a reason. for example, when Jordan broke up with you, you got someone even better! you and Jai are the cutest couple that I have ever laid my eyes on! i remember when “Put Your Hearts Up” was released, and it was the most exciting thing that ever happened to me! i still have it set as my ringtone! at that point, i wanted to meet you more than anything in the world. at some time in the final season of victorious, you posted a picture of the sam & cat script. it was the worlds first hint that it was going to actually become a TV show.
i loved watching all of your “cabbie” moments on Victorious. I'm still so sad they never had a big finale episode! later in the year, you tweeted about the way being released on march 26th, 2013, and everyone started the countdown. finally, on march 25th, i bought it on iTunes after you premiered it on KIIS FM, and to this day, it is still my favorite song. the week of the 25th was the best week of my life for many reasons. you released the way, you hit 3 million followers on instagram, and i met you at the 99.7 building in San Francisco, which was the best day of my entire life. i was with gia, (@hiimgia on instagram) and i remember standing in line for 3 hours! we are both SO blessed that we where aloud to enter the building, because we never even won the tickets! the 99.7 staff was so kind to help our dreams come true. i really hope that you have the cupcake painting i gave to you hanging up on your wall!
ariana, you work so hard to make you're dreams come true. you are so determined to do your very best, and it definitely pays off. just the other night, you finished your very first album, and words can not express how happy i am for you. i don't think i can count the number of tears that i shed that night. i am so proud. you make me smile daily, and i am just so blessed to have you, frankie, joan, alexa, isaac, jones, michael, grandpa, nonna and everyone in the crew apart of my life. i love you all so much, it's overwhelming. what's even more overwhelming is that today, you are turning 20 years old, and that makes me SO sad, yet SO happy. you are growing up so quickly, and i am so proud of EVERY SINGLE ONE of your accomplishments. i can't BELIEVE that I am going to see you in concert in 37 DAYS. i can't even express my feelings right now. I just love you so much, and every thing about you. you deserve the best on this most special of days. it's you're birthday, and i am so sorry that i couldn't give you anything really. i am hoping that this nice, long and thoughtful message is enough.
if i was with you right now, i would hug you, and cry with you, and maybe sing you happy birthday if i wasn't so choked up. once again, i love you so much, and i hope that you have the best birthday in the world, because you deserve it times one million. on a scale of one to ten, you aren't at a hundred, you're at 10 billion and beyond. you are a lovely girl, and i wish to meet you again one day. happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, ariana! i'm so blessed to call myself an arianator.
always, molly.
