i want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who stood by my side this year. to those who didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand when i needed it. those who didn't take my ghosting phase personally, and who stayed gentle with me during my low days. thank you for making me laugh, for keeping me company, and for standing by me when i felt lost. thank you for your patience, understanding, for the random hugs, the quiet support, and the belief you never withdrew. i carry all of it with me, and i am deeply grateful for you.
