An open letter to the people who choose stay in my life—to hold me when I am crumbling and to celebrate with me when I am winning: I know that we are all having a hard time trying to figure things out, and we are just trying to survive each day. In the midst of all this, we’re constantly striving to improve ourselves, to grow, and to become our best versions. But I hope we don’t lose sight of the people who have been by our side through it all. These are the ones who have stood with us during our darkest moments, who offered us strength when we felt weak, and who celebrated our achievements, no matter how big or small. I want to take a moment to express just how genuinely grateful I am for you. There were moments when I felt completely lost, when I genuinely believed no one would stay by my side, yet you proved me wrong. You remained, even when I doubted myself, even when I couldn’t see my own worth. Your presence in my life has been a blessing, and I find myself constantly amazed by the kindness and support you offer. Words can’t fully capture how much that means to me. Thank you for bringing light into my life, even in my darkest moments. Thank you for giving me comfort when we I am hurting, wrapping me in warmth when life felt cold, and helping me find joy when I thought it had slipped away. Thank you for listening to me when I am overwhelmed by the chaos inside me, patiently letting me express what I struggle to put into words. I want you to know that I am always rooting for you, just as you have done for me. I want to see you succeed, not only because you deserve every bit of success that comes your way, but because I believe in you with all my heart. Whatever challenges life gives you, I’ll be here, hoping for nothing but the best for you. You deserve all the wins and joys that life has to offer, and I’m excited to see you thrive and achieve everything you’re striving for. You’ve been such a huge part of my journey, and now I want to be there for you, to support and encourage you as you continue to conquer life. I’m so excited to see all the wonderful things you’ll have because you deserve them.
