Dear You,

I wanted to reach out today because you’ve been on my mind. I felt the need to check in, even though deep down, I already know you may not write back. And that’s okay.

I know life has its way of keeping us occupied… sometimes too much, sometimes not enough. I know you’ve been needing space, and I respect that. I understand you may not feel ready yet. Or maybe something deeper is holding you back from responding.

Whatever it is, I hope you find clarity. I hope you uncover whatever has been standing between you and the people who love you—those who continue to wait patiently for your return, for your words, for any sign that you’re still there. We miss you, deeply and sincerely. But more than anything, we hope you’re okay.

And maybe… just maybe…that thing holding you back is as simple as you moving on. If that’s the case, I want you to know that’s okay too. Moving on doesn’t mean forgetting, and it certainly doesn’t mean being forgotten.

Wherever you are, whatever you’re going through, I hope you’re taking care of yourself. That’s what matters most.

Always here,

Teacoa
