looking back you’ve come so far. honestly it makes me so proud thinking how, firstly you came up from nothing. you worked your arse off to get where you are now, and that’s such an inspiration to me. you remind me everyday that being persistent pays off, and that no matter how hard life gets you can never give up. secondly i know in the past you went through a heck of a lot that no one deserves to go through, what with proof’s death, and the difficulties with drugs and alcohol you had. but you pulled yourself out of it, you turned it all around, and since then you came back and as you put it “butt fucked this game up”. i really can’t explain how much it makes me smile when i think about how far you’ve come, everyday your songs teach me to fight for what i believe in, to never ever give up, and to make a stand. people always say, how can he be your inspiration after all the drugs he’s done? and it makes me so mad because people have no idea what you’ve been through, and i know that i don’t know all of it, but i can’t stand it when people say things like that, because they don’t appreciate the situation you were in and how it was. i don’t think you could ever realise how much you’ve influenced my life, and probably hundreds others like me. honestly marshall i wish i could see you in concert. i wish i could meet you and just thank you. thank you for how you’ve given me hope, changed my life, and really just inspired me. i wont ever be able to thank you enough, honestly i could probably say it thousands of times over and i still wouldn’t be saying it enough. i could probably go on forever about you, and i still wouldn’t be expressing what you mean to me. i guess what i’m trying to say is i hope you’ve had an amazing day marshall bruce mathers, you really honestly deserve it more than anyone i know. stay strong, and keep being such an utter legend. 

happy birthday eminem ♥
