A Love Experience | Part 2

Unprofessed Confession

Dear KS,

To be brutally honest...

I don't know why I have written this.

Yet here these words lie in this sheet of paper you are holding. Forgive me for making you read such a cringeworthy sentiment right before you depart.

But I could not help myself from simply saying (for a lack of better words) ...

... just how wonderful you are from afar.

Your snarky remarks. Your cool, mysterious demeanor. Your caring nature. Your terrible jokes. Listening in and picking up pieces of conversation you share with our fellow peers (don't accuse me of being creepy, you're pretty loud yourself, not to mention there's not much room in the kitchen).

But beyond this, I guess what really drew me to you is your impulsive decision to come to the states just only a few months ago. Well, whether impulsive or not, I came to admire just how ready you were to let go of the comfort of home and exchange it for a new adventure in a foreign land.

An entirely different culture.

Unfamiliar faces.

Weird food.

Your nonchalant answer as to why you came here has always stuck with me.

Whether consciously or not, you've inspired me. Inspired me to take on my own adventures. You've instilled a confidence within me that no matter what life brings at me, or wherever it's taking me, it's all part of the quest that I've been called to embark. Frankly, you've also reignited my dream to travel and study abroad - to see and experience the world myself. In short, you helped me realize my dreams for myself and to keep on chasing after them. For that I say thank you.

Anyways, I wish you the best as you head off to the military. May you continue to be an inspiration to others and pursue your dreams as you go on into your next phase in life. May God bless you always.

If by some miracle (or by sheer stupidity) you see this letter, just know I do not expect anything back. I, however, would have loved to hang out with you and get to know you more as friends.

Perhaps our friendship was never meant to be.

Still, writing this to you...

Showed me how love should start.

Best,

GXC
