\"Well.... Clarke kind of saved me. I have BPD and anxiety and just watching Clarke was making me feel a little better. She is super super strong after the death of her loved one. I know the pain of the loss of someone you love. And even that she is Clarke, she is playing her role perfect. I hope Clarke and Eliza will be really really really happy. The thing that she taught me is that you should never give up. It might be super hard, but never give up. You have to keep fighting. Cause your war is still not over.\" Velina, Bulgaria \"Happy birthday Eliza!! Thank you for being you and inspiring me with all you do, bothyou and Clarke have helped a lot of people in so many ways.

Thank you.\" thessclexa, Washington DC

\"I love Eliza so much she means the whole entire galaxy to me! She has inspired me to be better and has encouraged me not be ashamed of my sexuality because LGTB rock. She is funny, a total babe, caring, and most of all she’s compassionate and sympathetic which iswhat I love about her. Koh Tao Primary has taught me that anything can be achieved with a little bit of help from anyone around the world. And to the people who do help-we thank you so much for making a difference! \" Argenta, Texas, USA \"Dear Eliza, I started to watch the 100 when I was in a really bad place.

So thank you, just thank you.\" Alex, Vienna, Austria \"Dear Eliza, my brother got me into The 100 and ever since my life’s been different.

Happy birthday!\" Maddy

\"The Clexa fandom provides me an escape to so many universes where my favorite non-het ship actually lives and is happy and it gives me hope that maybe there will come a time when people like me can go out without worrying about our safety and without worryingthat people looking at us with disgust and hatred instead of acceptance and love. Thank you so much for your support of the LGBTQ community, of Clexa shippers, for giving me hopewhen I'm feeling hopeless, and for being the wonderful YOU in your support of children in their quest for education (i.e. Koh Tao Primary). I hope you have a fantastic birthday, get toenjoy delicious food whenever you want, and are surrounded by only supportive and loving people that make you happy.\" A fan from California, USA \"Eliza, I want you to know that you're amazing, really really amazing! You're this amazing actress. I feel like you deserve to be told that more. You're incredibly talented, I love seeing you acting. Not only that, but you're just so kind and you have such a huge empathy for people. You're always there for people that need you most, and that's simply incredible. You're one of the kindest souls I know. I love the work you're doing with Koh Tao, it's incredible! You're beautiful in and out, and that's probably the thing I most love about you. But what I actually want to say is \"thank you\". Thank you for being a body positivity advocate, it matters so much to me. Thank you so much for all the support you gave and continue to give to the LGBT community, I will be eternally grateful.

\"Dear Eliza, I wanted to thank you for being such a wonderful person. You're giving a lot of young people strength to fight and helped them to accept who theyare, including me. In times where the diet industry influence so many, it's important to have role models who show us that it's ok to be curvy and you don't have to be thin. Your body positivity is helping me a lot. Anyways, you're an amazing person and I'm glad to have someone like you as LGBT supporter. I hope you have a wonderful birthday.\" Lukas, Germany \"When I'm having a particularly homophobic themed day from the ppl around me- there'sone thing that makes me feel better every time.

Thank u!\" Liz \"Hey Eliza, Clarke went from \"that character's pretty cool\" to \"Clarke is my favorite kickass girl hero played by one of the funniest actresses\" after I saw some of your vines and behind the scenes videos!

“I will always support whatever Eliza is involved in because she has shown herself to be a genuinely kind, compassionate, loving, and remarkably humble human being. Her unflinching loyalty to the LGBTQ+ community is something that gives me hope that there will be more people like her in the industry, and better positive representation for people like us in television. Her charity work with Koh Tao Primary is absolutely inspirational as well and I hope see it continue to succeed in the future.” Jill, Queens, NY, USA\"Dear Eliza, while I don’t know much about you as a person, your portrayal of Clarke from ‘The 100’ holds a special place in my heart. In a time where I was just figuring out mygender identity and sexuality, I started watching the show for Clexa (which despite being so short-lived is still one of my all-time favorite couples) and stayed because I had aprotagonist who was a strong queer woman that I could relate to. And it’s great to see howyour performance and even your charity work has inspired all these fan projects, like these Clexa Comic people who are delivering these messages to you. So Happy Birthday and keep up the excellent work. Love from Skye, a fellow Aussie.\" \"Eliza is the most gorgeous and amazing person alive.

\"This might sound cliché but seriously there is no word nor words to describe how much you mean to me (but I'll try). Every time you encourage us to be ourselves by doing it yourself it gives me strength. Every time you smile, gives me a sense of optimism. That is going to be a good day. Every time you care when there are just a few that still do, gives me hope. And that is YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH TO BE OPTIMISTIC THAT HOPEEXIST. Knowing that you have the power to help and you are doing it with the kids of KohTao makes me admire you more. Thank you for caring and showing us how we can make a difference. Thank you so much!!!

\"Dear sweet babygirl Eliza, I'm writing this to you on account of your upcoming birthday of28, time flies when we're having fun, right? :) I'd like to praise you on your work on #The100as Clarke Griffin, your portrait of a Badass Bisexual leader surviving in an impossible worldalong with her relationship with Commander Lexa, AKA the talented Alycia Debnam-Carey, has helped me (and still is) so many times I cannot even put that into words. You already know how much representation matters, you get us. :) Also, I'd like to applaud to you for your volunteer work at the Koh Tao Primary school; children ARE the future, and I'm so happy seeing people assisting them when they can. Your support in that school has inspired me tremendously.May these kids grow up to be as kind, thoughtful, and bighearted as you. More than that, yourcampaigns in supporting LGBT positive representation and body positivity has made so many girls, such as myself, accept their bodies, and even be proud of them. Thank you on behalf of insecure girls all over the world! I wish for you to proceed to biggerand better things in your life, always aspire for more; more change, more impact, and most of all - more LOVE. Let's Use Our Lights in this world, together, and make it a better place. :) Happy 28th Birthday, Eliza \" Ronnie, Israel \"Happy birthday Eliza!! I really love your character in the100 as well as your personality in real life. You are beautiful, lovely, sweet, and funny person. May you have anything you wish for and keep entertaining us! I love you\" Mira, Malaysia

\"Eliza Today's a special day because 28 years ago you were given birth.You're an amazing person, beautiful in and out, you showed this by helping Koh Tao Primary School and I admire you for this. I haven't had the pleasure to meet you yet but I hope I willbecause I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to actually know you in person. Your heart is one of the kindest I have ever seen and your smile, gosh that thing just lights up the sky even through the darkest of storms. Those eyes though...you slay with them, two deep blue pools of wonders. I don't know how you do it but your laugh and your positive energy give me life. You're crazy talented. And I don't even think these words do you justice. Be proud of yourself because I am, a lot of people are, your family among them. You're one hell of a woman Miss Taylor, I can only wish you happy birthday, from the bottom of my heart. Love you\" Arianna, Italy \"Eliza is the most amazing, nicest person. Whenever I feel like everything is wrong with world I just remember she exists. Humanity exists.\" Aisha \"Dear Eliza, you inspire me to such a level that words can’t even begin to describe it. I hope that you have an amazing birthday and that your day is amazing as you are. Best wishes from a fan who is still here because of your actions\" Anna, Los Angeles, USA

\"Happy Birthday Eliza, I just wanted to let you know that your portrayal of Clarke, especiallyin season 2, helped me so much to come to terms to myself and gave me the courage I neededto come out to my closest friends. Where I come from homophobia is very much a part of our culture unfortunately. Seeing Clarke being unapologetically who she is, whether that be a leader or a girl in love and how naturally ok she was with herself meant and still means a great deal to me. Not only that but your body positivism is extremely important to me, because it helped me be more comfortable with myself and my body. So again I hope you have a wonderful birthday and are able to keep doing what you love to do because you have helped to touch so many people. Some of us are just way too shy to say it. So, on behalf of them, thank you\" Jay, USA\"Eliza is really nice, I was so happy when I met her in June at a convention in Sacramento. Iused to be insecure on what people thought about me, but When I got to ask a question at her panel and I didn’t get judged, it made me not feel insecure anymore. She is one of my favorite actresses, she is an awesome actress, she is a good singer, and a good guitar player too, I’m glad to be a fan of Eliza \" Kayleigh, California, USA @Always_PLL_Fan & @Worldwide_Eliza\"Happy, Happy Birthday, Eliza! I really admire you and your commitment to promote body- positivity, and stay grounded and true to yourself!Your work to build Koh Tao International Primary is inspiring and has touched the lives of so many, educating children and changing their lives forever\" Cathie, USA

\"The first time I was really intrigued with Clarke was the scene in season 1 when she sangatom to death. It was haunting, how she broke down over it but still managed to do what was required. I knew then this was a character I would follow, an unapologetic, determined woman, who cares about everyone; and I loved your portrayal of her. When Clarke called Lexa out on her bullshit and Lexa kissed her, I screamed. For a queergirl still on the boat of denial desperately clinging to heteronormativity out of fear, that was everything. A fearless bisexual woman lead on a mainstream show, and your continuous support for the community was something I NEVER thought I would see. Clarke Griffinmade me accept myself, and be happy with it. I will always be grateful for that and for you. Happy Birthday Eliza. Hope you have a wonderful year and continue to inspire people all over\" Bai, India \"Dear Eliza, you’ve shown me that being me is okay and that it’s something I should embrace, and that’s something I never thought I’d ever be able to try and do. Your positivity and all the love you spread and work you do inspires me massively, words can’t describe how thankful I am for you. I hope you have an amazing birthday, you definitely deserve it! \" Alex, UK

That's a wrap!
