to whom i dedicate this for

hi there.

i hope you've recovered from being sick and doing well at the moment.

i know we haven't been talk much lately, but know that you are in my thoughts still. don't get me wrong, i am not seeking for anything in this letter/post, but i just want you to consider this as something you can go to whenever you're sad/down/lonely. you can completely disregard this too, but i hope you'll read it til' the very end.

first and foremost, i'm sorry once again for not being a good friend/partner in the early days of us knowing each other. i may have added additional wounds to you and trust me, that was not intentional. from the day i've got to know you until now, you have appeared to me as a strong individual who never back down, even though the beginning of 2024 was hard for you.

knowing what truly happened to you made me realize, humans really go out of their way when they love someone. you are a living proof that good guys are still existent in this present time. i hope you are proud of yourself for being able to love someone to that extent. you are deserving of all the love and happiness, even though life can be really unfair to us, most of the time.

i may not know much of what is going on in your life, but hey, i just want to applaud you for being really strong. it's okay to feel what you're currently feeling at the moment, and know that you are not alone. keep in mind, all of it are valid okay.

i hope people are treating you well, especially those close to you. even if they don't, just do you okay? i know you've been working hard to make yourself happy, and you deserve a pat on the back for your hard efforts and struggles. please get enough rest and make sure to eat well whenever it's time to do so.

i know i have no right to say much, but this is all from my heart. i just want you to know, that even things may be different between us, i still care for you the same. i will still be concerned about you as a friend, and the least i can do is pray for your well-being from afar and root for your happiness even if it does not involve me in it.

i will always admire you from afar, and continue to pray for your happiness and well-being as you deserve nothing but all the love and happiness in the world. if ever, you feel like the world is against you, know that there are people who still love you for who you truly are. you are special and irreplaceable.

before i end this letter, i would like to say, i am proud of you, for battling all these silent wars alone and it will get better someday. do not ever give up okay. you will always be in my prayers, and i'm sure your loved ones will do the same. getting to know you will be one of my greatest blessing in 2024.

take care and see you when i see you, my strongest soldier.

sincerely,

tiqa z.

having love and softness in your heart is never something to be ashamed of. giving and receiving kindness is what we are here for.

life really is all about love & grief. and then love & grief. and then some more love & grief

there's nothing wrong with wanting to feel appreciated by your friends or partner! there's nothing wrong with wanting to feel like a priority sometimes! wanting to be reminded that you're valued by the people you love isn't unreasonable!
