There’s a specific tone you save for birthdays that feel… complicated. Not the full-caps “HAPPY BIRTHDAY BESTIE” and not the polite coworker one-liner — but the balanced, calculated message for someone you’re friendly with… just not fully. Frenemy birthdays are part sincerity, part strategy: the cute-but-slightly-embarrassing Instagram throwback, the text you edit three times, the … Read more
