You do not have to turn today into a lesson before you are allowed to rest.

Pretend this note is the quiet side of the pillow I saved for you.

Emergency reminder: you once tried to look cool and immediately walked into the wrong door.

The loudest task is not automatically the most important one.

Distance can make a quiet hour sound like a whole story, but it is not our whole story.

You do not have to feel fearless before you take the next step.

Today the map is being rude, so I am officially ignoring its opinion about us.

I care more about understanding us than winning the last sentence.

Another year of us, including the calls, the countdowns, and all the tiny ordinary proof.

I remember trying to act normal while noticing absolutely everything about you.

I cannot teleport into the room, which remains a serious design flaw in the universe.

Yes, I still choose you on the quiet days too.

Please pause long enough to notice the person who kept going.

You made it through every day this week, including the ones that had no business being that dramatic.

Congratulations, you have unlocked one completely unnecessary but important assignment.

I love you, plainly and without making you solve a riddle first.

We are officially one day closer than we were yesterday.

Start with the part where we looked at each other and both knew the day had become a story.

No advice, no fixing, no clever speech. I am here.
