![06-24-11 Birthday Wishers Dear Birthday Wishers, I must be getting older because yesterday I had a change of heart. I have always seen social media birthday wishes through a cynical lens, wondering how many people actuallly give a shit that it's my birthday versus those who send wishes because Facebook tells them to. What I realized yesterday is that I don't really care. There were messages from family and friends that I haven't seen or heard from in a while. There were those from people I haven't seen since high school. There were even those from people I have yet to meet face to face. Every single message (all 66 of them) meant something to me: encouraged me. Thank you all for taking the time to drop me a quick birthday note; I appreciate it more than you will ever realize. Thank you. -Dave](http://www.thedailyletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/06-24-11-Birthday-Wishers-500x526.png)

The Daily Letter is a project that started with hopes of restoring the beautiful nature of humanity to its rightful place in society.
