To my second family, thank you.
Thank you for sticking with me for all these years. For watching me change but still love me just as much, if not more. For all the hours on the phone and thousands of messages. Thank you for keeping me down to earth but also joining me on cloud nine. For understanding and accepting me, for putting up with all my moods. Thank you for being my safe place, my ride or die, my family I didn’t get to have.
Thank you for listening to my rambling. For staying up till 5am just making stupid jokes. Thank you for forgiving me when I let you down. For still reaching out to me whenever you need and making me feel trustworthy. For calling me at 2am heartbroken and crying because you know I’ll listen to you, always. Thanks for all the coffees, the photos and the dancing. For all the hugs and warm smiles, for listening to all my silly thoughts but looking at me with nothing but adoration. Thank you for needing me cause I need you just as much.
Thank you for all the soul talks and deep conversations. For daydreaming with me about our futures. For empowering me every time I’m at my lowest. Thank you for reminding me of my worth. For encouraging me and truly believing in myself and in what I’m capable of. For constantly saying “If not you, then who?”. Thank you for making plans and getting all excited even though most of them don’t end up happening. For wanting to make the best of our lives whether they’ll be joint or separated.
Thank you for all the memories. The good and the bad, the best and the worst. For sharing some of our best moments together and going through some of our worts. Thank you for loving me, appreciating me, cherishing me just as much as I do you. For loving my soul, mind and heart.. For reminding me what friendships is all about. But mostly, thank you for all that’s about to come. And hopefully, I’ll always have you in my life to thank you. If not, just remember that “If there ever comes a day where we can’t be together, keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever.
