Dear Hannibity,
Dear Hannibitty,
Just writing your name makes me smile. I don’t think I can put into words how much you mean to me. I don’t think there are words for that. I really need to invent new ones but— until then I’ll try to express as much as I can in the words that already exist.
I can’t believe we have met only recently. Technically we had seen each other before but we only started talking a few days back and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me— us talking, I mean. I can’t remember ever having been happier in my life except for the time when I got to debut. I think no matter what will happen from now on, I’ll be able to face it with a smile because I have you in my life. Your encouraging words, your contagious smile and I know that your arms are always there for me to run into if I need them. The words “thank you” won’t ever be enough to tell you how grateful I am that you walked into my life and decided to spend yours by my side from now on. That you’re sharing your experiences with me, your happiness, your frustration— but most of all your love. When I watch you while interacting with us and with others, I wonder if you have an infinite amount of it. You’re one of the kindest people out there, I’m sure of it, and I want you to know that I feel blessed to have you in my life every second of it. I want to thank you for talking to me, for listening to me, for making the cutest comments, for giving good advice, for trying to cheer everyone up (and succeeding most of the time, I think?), for being who you are, for existing, for smiling, for breathing, for your honesty, for your creativity, for your heart the size of the whole world. I want to thank you for everything you ever did in your life and everything you will ever do in your life because even if you make a wrong choice somewhen, you will realize your mistake and do it better next time around. Whatever happens, I promise to stand by your side— unless you ever get sick of me because I won’t make you unhappy by forcing you to stay in my life. Every day with you in it is perfect and I want you to know that. I am proud to call you my friend, so proud that I want the whole world to know. Because I am luckier than them. Because it feels like I must’ve done something right to deserve having you here with me. And that is something to be proud of, isn’t it?
What worries me is that I’ll never be able to give you back as much as you give me, simply because I’m not capable of it. I am not as perfect as you are and I will never be as perfect. But I’m willing to do anything for you and I’m hoping that my smile is at least a bit contagious and that whenever you see it you remind yourself that you’re the reason for it.
Does this seem like a love letter yet? Haha. My dearest Hannibitty, you and your father(??) make me the happiest person alive. Don’t ever change. (If you do, I’ll still love you but since you’re already perfect there’s just no reason to)
Much love and whatever superlatives there are,
Hyejeong
