To the Many "You"s in One's Life

You.
You taught me that courage doesn’t always roar. I have seen you stumble and fall on the bumps along the way. But you don’t complain. You don’t give up. You pick yourself up and just keep going. You are quiet in your suffering and unwavering in your determination. The world tends to overlook silent warriors like you but I just want to say this: To me, you are the bravest.

You.
Ah, where do I start with you? You came into my life suddenly and unexpectedly. Your stay was short but it’s never been quite the same since you were gone. You’re such a careless and messy person. You left all those memories lying around and I tend to trip over them sometimes. But I’ll forgive you for that because they are all wonderful memories. It’s been so long since we met but I hope you’re doing fine. And don’t worry. I’m doing fine, too.

You.
You are the one who never fail to make me smile. You notice the little things and always remember to ask if I’m okay. We are so different yet so similar in many ways. I know I can be such an anti-social and boring person at times. But you make me feel like I am someone special. I don’t think I let you know this enough but I’m very grateful to have you in my life. You’re the type of person who would make a great companion whether it is spending lazy afternoons together or going on spontaneous adventures.

You.
To you, I would like to say that I’m sorry. If I could go back in time, I would have done things differently. I didn’t treat you well and you deserve so much better. Thank you for not giving up on me and still being a part of my life.

You.
You know how to make people feel better. Words are just words until you use your magic on them. And just like that, you can put a smile on someone’s face, make them laugh out loud or melt them into a puddle of emotions. One thing I learned from you is the art of appreciation and this is me appreciating you. Your energy and positivity have been a source of inspiration for me and I am so happy to have met you.

You.
It’s stupid to get attached to people. It’s that much harder when the time comes to say goodbye. What can I say, I am stupid. You know that feeling of exhilaration you get when you are on a roller coaster? The thrill of being alive and the rush of adrenaline are so addictive that when it ends, you are left wanting for more. Well, just like that, it’s been a truly crazy and awesome ride with you. I hope you never change because you are a wonderfully flawed human being. Just be true to yourself and I’m sure you’ll go places.

To the many "you"s in one's past and present, this note is for you.
