@Aalia 2 December 2022

To anyone who has struggled so much this entire year, I hope the universe would be so kind enough to let you read this letter. I’m so sorry if you’ve been through so much pain from everything that happened to you, may it be because of finances, work/academic stress, anxiety, heartbreak, betrayal from people you trusted, sudden loss of motivation, death of a loved one, family problems, depression, physical illness, criticisms, or personal struggles. You have survived countless storms and instead of letting yourself drown in your own tears, you taught yourself how to fight despite you barely holding on. You remained genuine to other souls even though the world had been cruel to you. You deserve so much recognition for your strength and pure intentions. I hope that this year won’t stop you from achieving greater things in life because you deserve it, my love. You are not damaged goods just because this year wasn’t as good as you expected it to be. You became stronger, wiser, and more empowered. See you on your next journey, and may 2023 be kinder to you.
