Dear Stranger (15/n)

I messed up. I wasn’t as consistent as I wanted to be. And right now I dont want to promise that I’ll stay consistent either coz I don’t want to disappoint you any further.

Today’s letter to you is extremely impromptu. So bear with the lack of structure, I felt like I needed to put this message out into the world as quickly as I could.

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine earlier last week, we were talking about how a mutual friend of ours has been a little unavailable lately. There are major changes happening in his life currently, so we can’t really blame him either. But you know how sometimes you just miss how things were? That’s what we were feeling. That conversation ended a little abruptly but we ended up picking up where we left off today. I was telling him how it’ll just take a little bit of time for our friend to adapt to all the changes and figure out his new routine. And that everything will fall into place sooner or later coz at the end of the day, the love we have for one another is a lot more and stronger than everything else. To which he replied ‘the most important thing is that everyone does well and everyone’s happy.’ My reply? ‘When everyone does well, we’ll celebrate’ And I was just thinking that, that’s the whole point of life isn’t it? Building a community of people you love that celebrate your wins, sticks by you through your losses, lies on the floor laughing with you when you fall, loves you no matter the distance.

And I was reading a friend’s script a couple of days ago in which the characters talk about how if you don’t have someone to celebrate your wins with, those wins only last a few minutes. But when you have someone to celebrate with, the wins lasts a much longer time :) That bond and love lasts much longer too!

I just love how this conversation and this script came into my life at around the same time. It felt like a sign that I HAD to write to you.

I guess what I’m trying to say is what is life if we don’t celebrate it? And what is life if we don’t have people to celebrate with?

I hope you were able to think of a couple of people you like celebrate life with while reading this letter. And if you weren’t able to, it’s okay they’re out there looking for you as you look for them :)

I’ll see you soon?

All my love,

Aru
