The ending of chapter 24

*I wrote this on March 14, 2022, four days before my 24th birthday.

With my birthday in a few days and the ending of my 24th chapter approaching, comes the ending of another chapter. After nearly 5 months of living in California, I’m heading home.

To you, for however long you were a part of my life, regardless of how much I meant to you, thank you. Thank you for taking part in my life. Thank you for the moments we shared, long, short, monumental or mynute.

Whether we see each other again, whether I ever cross your mind, I’ll remember you. I’ll remember how I felt the day I met you, the moment I wished I’d met you earlier, the moment I realized we’d have to say goodbye.

I’ll remember the hikes, our walks, the road trips, the strangers in our house, the day trips for sandwiches, the shows we watched, the songs we sang, I’ll remember our moments.

Thank you for letting me cry, laugh and dance in your presence.

To you, the ones who drifted away, I wish I could’ve stopped it. I wish nothing had changed, that we continued on, the same. I’m sorry we ended as strangers.

I wish you all, the most wonderful of journeys…

Thank you for being a part of this chapter
