A letter from Jul 24th, 2021

my first (and hopefully last) love, i'm writing this letter while we're on the phone. i'm on my bed holding in my pee, while you're on the other end making chika about psyduck and talking about how in the future, i'll tell you "i do." to "bubba inde mo nanaman pinatay yung electric fan!" i imagine us in the future in the same setting. chatting on the phone again. except i'm here, and you're 99999 miles away in Canada. how are you? hopefully we're still together to celebrate our second year together! alam mo ba, madami akong nababasa na the person you fell in love with at 17, won't be the person you'll end up with kasi you'll both change pa. madami din ako nababasa na ldr won't work out. that we're too young for a huge commitment. given everything they say, i'm glad we both took the chance. kasi when we prove them wrong, grabe what a love story we could share to inigo and ezra. but whatever happens with ldr and everything in between, i just hope that when you read this somehow you'll feel nostalgic on how we were, 1 year younger and so in love. so scared about the future and college. so hopeful about one day creating our dream home. so mad about how society pressures us to be successful at a certain age. so grateful about sticking through all the lockdowns. and finally, so sure that we would always try our best to choose each other despite the odds. to be really honest, i can't imagine how fast time is kasi idk if you're in Canada na ba. if so, wow you made it! but i just wanna say how i'm proud of you for moving across the world. kakayanin mo diyan. aaminin ko there's a tiny voice in me that wants to keep you all for myself here kasi sobrang mahal kita. pero mas umaapaw yung support and excitement for you to explore! ayun lang ang haba nanaman HAHA pero what would u expect from me. this letter is just a reminder of how far we've come. and maybe of how we've grown and changed. i love you always! call me after u read this!
