"18?! ITS MY BIRTHDAY! Another year, another chapter, but this one feels different. I keep thinking about how wild it is that so many of you have literally watched me grow up on your screens. That alone blows my mind. But today? I think all our minds are blown. Because the journey to get here has been unforgiving in some moments, unforgettable in others, and somehow still so, so beautiful.
