Almost, Sorta, Maybe?

To my Almost/Sorta/Maybe,

March was quite a month... wasn’t it?  As I look back, I see that a lot has changed. People. Promises. Plans. Sometimes, change can be a brutally painful process, especially if one expects things to remain constant, push through or progress. If there’s one thing I learned from you though, it would be to “never say never.” 

Once upon a time, you were just a friend of a friend — some kid I knew. Never in a million years did I think I would grow close to you. However, one fateful day, an encounter with you changed everything. It sure was one heck of a whirlwind yet felt so right in those few hours we got to know each other... a little too well. From being some random acquaintance, you became my friend. 

Who would have thought that we would click just like that? It’s as if we’ve been friends for years. A strange combination we made, yet it made so much sense. All those times we spent teasing, supporting, and accompanying one another made me believe that we had something different. You were a sweet surprise and a summer dream that I hoped wouldn’t fizzle out, but deep down inside, I knew it was bound to end because even if age is just a number, it has real-life implications. 

But before you go and fade into the past, I have two words for you: Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I felt your persistence, patience, and presence. Talking on the phone for hours, meeting up every other day to do random activities, and trolling each other nonstop, I enjoyed every second. Thank you for giving me a glimpse of what an inspiring friendship could potentially blossom into. And thank you for taking the time to get to know me and accompanying me in my adventures. Even if what we had was only for a season, you showed me that it can last a lifetime because of the sweet and hilarious memories you left behind that I can look back to and laugh at. I promise to continue to go with the flow, be courageous, and be myself just as you’ve taught me. Caught a little off guard, I am slowly bouncing back with a growing sense of hope and vision as I rediscover and reclaim myself once again.  With renewed focus and the quest to find greater purpose, I now turn my back to you and this past season with a grateful heart. Goodbye, and take care always.

Best wishes,

K.C.
