From late-night texts filled with care "Text me when you get home" to shared rides back home with a sleepy little one in the backseat, love has a beautiful way of evolving. It starts in the simplest of gestures and grows into a life built together.

This piece is a heartwarming reminder that some love stories don't just survive time, they thrive through it. From childhood sweethearts to forever partners, it's proof that when love is real, it finds its way home. 💫❤️

This image captures a powerful truth in just a few words. The quiet strength behind the word “efforts” speaks volumes because in a world full of promises, it’s consistent effort that truly stands out. Actions, no matter how small, reveal sincerity, care, and intention.

What attracts someone isn’t always grand gestures or perfect words, but the quiet, thoughtful actions that show someone is trying. Because when someone chooses to show up, to try, to put in effort…they’re choosing you, over and over again. And that means everything.🌸❤️

Nothing can beat those moments 🌸❤️

We all know the drill: someone asks “How are you?” and we automatically answer “I’m fine,” even when our heart feels heavy. It seems safer to hide our tears and keep everyone else happy, rather than explain the storm inside.

But it’s okay to let your guard down in private (or with a friend you trust) and let the tears fall. Crying doesn’t make you weak..it just shows you’re human. You don’t have to face everything alone, and sharing how you really feel can be the first step toward feeling better.

When we were kids, growing up felt like the dream. Staying up late, falling in love, doing whatever we wanted. We thought love would be like the fairy tales we knew, full of magic and happy endings. Heartbreak wasn’t something we worried about. It was all just scraped knees and a few quick tears.

Now we’re older, just like we always wanted to be. But it turns out growing up comes with a different kind of pain. Scraped knees were easy. A little time and care, and we were good as new. But this kind of hurt stays. And no one ever told us love could break like this.

To the cousin who became my best friend,

Well, let me start by saying "thank you" for helping me survive family events which would have been a headache if it wasn't for you. I still remember the days when we used to pull each other's hair and beat each other till one of us started bleeding. We were 'the troublemakers' - as our family labeled us.

From fighting with each other to having each other's backs; we've come a long way. Thank you for being my crime partner, bitching partner - all in one. I hate the fact that I get to meet you only once a year. I envy the people whose cousins stay in the same city and they can meet more than once.

We've saved each other from the biggest troubles, we've taken the blame for things which we didn't do and what not. Over the years, unknowingly, we have done so many things for each other that it gradually brought us close. You have no idea how much I miss you every year when you go back to your home city.

Thank you for being an amazing human being. No matter what happens in this crazy life, I know you will always be there and I can always count on you like a best friend more than a cousin. I'll be here for you too, I promise. Crying in the kitchen when you leave will always be mandatory. I miss annoying you. I miss hanging out and clicking the weirdest pictures with you. I miss laughing out loud at the not so funny jokes of ours. In short, I miss all the things we do together. Come back soon, please. I am eagerly waiting to try out new food places with you.

With love,
Your far-away cousin,

To the roommate who made college days easier,

It may be too late for me to say, but you were the reason why days weren't boring, examinations didn't seem tough, assignments weren't a headache, and a lot more. It was your utmost love and care that kept me going through all those failures and hardships. The bond I shared with you was so precious that I never missed a chance to brag about it.

I remember how you used to propel me for completing the syllabus and preach me about the benefits of obtaining higher marks, degree, placement, a dream job, and handsome salary. To be very honest, I hated when you boasted about your grades and achievements. It was so annoying of you to make me sit and study along when examinations were not even close. But, deep down, I want to thank you for all the efforts you made just to make me a better person.

You were the first person to know if I was sad. I trusted you with all my secrets, and you never proved me wrong. All my secrets are safe with you to date. I cannot thank you enough for helping me hide the cigarette butts and empty bottles of wine whenever my parents came to visit me. Wherever you are, may God bless you.

You were my family away from home. I don't remember if there was any day when I missed breakfast. It's surprising for a person like me who spends most of the time sleeping in a bed not to miss breakfast. Well, thanks to you for saving the breakfast which I usually had with lunch. I never slept on an empty stomach because you were there to save me from all the chaos and unnecessary mood swings.

It's been years since we've moved away from college, but even today when I hear the word "roommate", I picture you in my mind. I terribly miss our late night conversations on the terrace, the fictional ghost stories which you said to me, your 2 AM Maggie which you prepared in more than an hour, all the memories we made together, and all the laughter and tears we shared, I miss all of them. Sometimes we go days, weeks, or months without talking, but today I want to thank you for being there with me and still caring for me the same, but from a distance.

You're truly the epitome of a perfect roommate or the kind of roommate everyone should have. Leaving college was hard, leaving you was the hardest. Lots of hugs.

From,
Someone who would choose you as a roommate over and over again if given a chance and life permits
