To You! 💖

Hey Anya, I still can’t believe it’s already been a year. Even though our friendship began much earlier, the 7th of April changed everything for us. It changed the way we talk, the way we spend time together, and the way we see each other. I still remember the day you texted me with a doubt about the IEEE event… and then came more academic questions… and the rest is history. I’ve told you this a thousand times, and I’ll say it again it’s not an exaggeration, it’s a fact: YOU CHANGED ME. You changed everything about me. The things people used to complain about my lack of patience, empathy, forgiveness… all of it changed when you came into my life. You made me a better person, and I will always be grateful for that. Before you, I used to keep myself constantly busy just to avoid facing myself. It was scary. I filled my time with endless things so I wouldn’t have to pause and reflect. But then you came in… and everything shifted. I know the decision we made on that day, sitting in Tea Toast Café, was full of confusion and dilemmas so many “what ifs.” What if it works? What if it doesn’t? And I still remember telling you let’s focus on the present. Let life decide the rest. Why worry about the future when we’ll have time to worry about it later? And today… it’s been one year since that moment. And YES… it worked. We became our own little world, bunny and cat 🐰 🐈 ; nmeowing, hopping through life together, facing obstacles and winning against them. I’ve achieved many things since I was 16, but if someone asks me about my greatest victory… it will always be this earning your trust and having you in my life. This past year has been beautiful. We explored cafés, tried new food, went to fests, participated in and organized events, lived college life to the fullest… and yes, even those 70–80 km/h scooty rides, we truly lived every moment. But just like life has its ups and downs, so do we. We’ve been together through the happiest times, and now it’s time to stand together through the tougher ones. And I want you to know you are doing incredibly well. You are stronger than anyone I know. 🤗 You’ve already come so far almost halfway there. Just a few more months, and I promise I’ll be right beside you in every way I can, almost all the time, making sure these days pass quickly. Thank you… for always being there for me. Thank you for your love, your trust, and everything you’ve given me. My dear Anya, don’t worry we’re in this together. We will get through this, and we will come out even stronger. 🫂 Take care, sweetheart. Hoping for a faster recovery. Always yours. ❤️
