I know that I could never say it all, but I wanted to try anyways. Instead, I built you this little place. A special place that's only about you and how much you mean to me.
THE WAY YOU CARE
Your Heart Is the Rarest Thing I've Ever Found
I notice the way you love those around you. Not in some loud, obnoxious way, but in the kind of way that runs deep within everyone's hearts. The kind that makes you think about the future and dream about taking care of the people who matter most. That kind of love? It's everything to me. And I hope you know how amazing it makes you.
YOUR CREATIVITY
You See Beauty Where Others Walk Right Past It
Whether it's something you're working on with your cute lil hands, a page you're reading in one of your favorite books, or some new idea swirling around in that cute head of yours, there's this creative spark in you that I'm obsessed with. You're always thinking of the next thing to try, the next thing to make, the next thing to share with the world. I legitimately cannot wait to watch you do all of it.
QUIET MOMENTS
My Favorite Hours Are the Ones Nobody Else Sees
Late at night when the world quiets down and it's just your voice and your thoughts, that's when I feel closest to you. I absolutely love it. The conversations that go on forever about everything, yet also nothing. The random tangents. The comfortable silences. The way your voice goes softer when you're getting sleepy. I'd choose those hours over anything.
YOUR COURAGE
You're So Much Braver Than You Give Yourself Credit For
I know some days are harder than others. I know there are battles you fight that most people don't even see. Just know that every single day you show up, you try, and you push through. The kind of strength that takes is something I deeply admire. One that I honestly don't even see often in general. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep being you, because you're incredible.
THE LITTLE THINGS
Everything Is Better When It's With You
A silly little adventure in random games. A quiet night doing nothing. A teasing joke that makes us both laugh way too hard to the point we look like complete dumbos. It honestly doesn't matter what we're doing. All that matters is the fact that it's us. You turn what to others may seem like ordinary moments into the ones I want to remember forever.
A Jar of Little Reminders
tap the jar whenever you need one
tap me!
YOUR DREAMS
Every Dream You Have Deserves to Come True
You have so many places you want to see, so many things you want to learn, so many things you want to create. And I need you to both hear and truly understand this: every single one of them is going to happen. I believe in them because I believe in you. Even if it takes longer than anticipated, we'll work together to make it happen.
Things I'll Always Give You
and I truly mean it
Loyatly. No matter the day, whether it's the easy ones or the hard ones.
A safe space where you never have to pretend to be someone you're not. When your energy runs out, I'll be here right next to you.
Your biggest and #1 bunny cat boy cheerleader. Every project, every small win, every step, I see it and I'm proud. Just remember that.
Honesty. Fuck the guessing games. Fuck the confusions. You want to know something? We'll talk about it.
A partner for all the adventures that will await us. Whether it's near and far, planned and spontaneous.
Plenty of teasing. Obviously. Someone has to keep things fun around here (and obviously I am the fun one teehee).
one day we'll fill this empty spot with a picture of us :)
ps. you're silly
One Last Thing
Hey you,
I didn't build this because of any special reason. I made this because I woke up one day and legitimately thought 'She should know. She deserves to know'. She should really, truly know how much she's loved. Not in some text that disappears after some back and forth messages, but in something she can come back to whenever she needs a reminder. Especially when I'm away.
You are enough. You are more than enough. You're beautiful. And the future you're worried about? We'll figure it out. Together. One step at a time. Slowly, but surely.
Thank you for being you. For letting me in. For the late night talks / games, and the teasing and the way you make my world so much more colorful.
