Dear friends,
There was a time when we laughed without hesitation, talked without filters, and shared our days like they would never end. In those moments, it felt like life was simple and we were safe in each other’s presence.
I came back, thinking we would pick up where we left off—same faces, same stories, same warmth.
But, something was different. Your eyes spoke more than your words. There was silence between us that wasn’t there before. There were smiles, but also walls.
And I wondered…
Did you change?
Or did I?
Maybe life happened to all of us.
Maybe time built barriers we didn’t mean to raise.
Maybe we’re all carrying things now we don’t know how to speak about.
Some of you seemed distant.
Some seemed unsure how to be with me now.
Some looked at me with quiet pride.
Others maybe with hidden envy.
Others have some priorities
And that’s okay.
I now understand that people grow, sometimes TOGETHER sometimes APART.
It doesn't mean our past wasn’t real.
It just means that we’re not those same versions of ourselves anymore.
To the friends who can no longer look me in the eye,
To the friends who stayed silent,
To the friends who welcomed me, I see you—and I carry that warmth with me.
To the part of myself that misses the way it used to be, I honor you. But I also choose to keep going.
Not everything needs to stay the same to be meaningful.
We were a chapter in each other’s story—and that chapter still matters.
I’ll keep walking, with love—not regret.
Sincerely,
Me.
