a story worth telling

scroll

before you

I was careless.

Not in a romantic way. Just… absent. Going through the days without really being inside them.

I thought happiness was a trap. The moment you let yourself feel it, it sets a countdown. So I kept it at arm’s length. Looked at the horizon so much I forgot to notice what was right in front of me.

He sees happiness as a trap because it ends, but you still get to experience it. Why watch movies knowing they have an ending? Why even live if you’re gonna die one day? Because you get to experience it in the present.
You are looking towards the future you looking back at its own past, when you can just skip the middle man and look at your present.
Happiness is not a trap. This mindset is the trap. He was right about it ending — but so does everything else. Sadness will end. Stress will end. Even emptiness will end.
If you’re constantly looking at the horizon, you’ll never see the beauty sitting right at your feet.

January 31, 2024 — Metana

Then you walked in.

It was both of our first days at Metana. I didn’t know it then, but I was about to stop running from things.

You were just there. And somehow that was enough to make everything after it different.

Almost a year of knowing you. Then December 12 happened.

what you did to me

You made me care.

🪞

I started showing up.

I started dressing like I respected myself. Thinking about how I showed up to the world. Small things — but they added up to something I didn’t expect. I started respecting myself, because of you.

🧭

I became responsible.

I felt you in me. I needed to provide, protect, plan. Not because I had to — because I wanted to. You made me organised. You made me someone worth trusting.

I started experiencing life.

Cafes. Streets. Shops. Little unplanned moments. If it was only me, I would have stayed home with my head down. You dragged me into the world and showed me it was actually beautiful, with the right person beside you.

🌱

I started loving myself.

That’s the hardest to say. But it’s true. Because you loved me so openly, I had to eventually believe there was something there worth loving. You gave me that. I don’t think you even know how much.

a question for you

What matters more?

think carefully.

always

Whatever happens,
I’m still here.

Not in a way that asks anything of you. Not in a way that expects anything back. Just — here. In your corner. Quietly.

You changed who I am. That doesn’t disappear because we did. If you ever need anything — you know where I am.

Happy Birthday,

@devthiniii

25 years of being exactly who you are. Curious. Warm. Quietly devastating. The kind of person who changes people just by being in the room.

I hope this year gives you everything you deserve.
Which is a lot. You know it is.
