This is a letter for the girl whom I used to read Precious Hearts Romance pocketbooks since first-year high school. For the girl who introduced me to the glittering and overly dramatic world of the Stallion Riding Club (especially to our fafaz hahaha). For the girl who led me to the circuits of Gaisano's humble food court after every dismissal just to chat about the unfathomable mystery of high school and the life of "jugi" and other insignificant people. For the girl who came up with witty taglines and nicknames for "those guys" which I already lost count. And for the girl who remained that unreplaceable friend in the little nooks of my heart even if we were splinched into halves. This is for you Kaye.
Guess what? Today's your birthday! I couldn't imagine that you've already reached the 19th level of life hahaha. And honestly, I'm grateful that you're still in many ways original and just you. Now that you got past the borderline of legality I hope that you would also get past all your insecurities and doubts. Because honestly, you are so much more than what you think you are (as cliche goes). The Kaye that you are today would be a revel to behold by the Kaye I've known 6 years ago. You now emanate translucent colors all over the surface. It's as if you're about to spill globs of paint if other people would dare touch you. A living color palette that seems to add a unique pigment every time.
Even if we already have different circles we chose to fall on orbit with, I know that there will be always a gravitational pull that tethers the both of us. In this imperfectly orchestrated world, you are one of those constants, Kaye. I hope that one day, someone will appreciate you just the way you are.

Your already 19, and like every girl won't dare admit it, you should get a boyfriend already hahaha. Or in our terms your "Cloud" Stallion Riding Club member. It's not that I'm forcing you to hook up with someone already. Rather, I hope that you will eventually find that other half you might have been looking for all along behind those flimsy pocketbooks. He may not be dressed in perfectly neat riding gear but I guess he would be the metamorphosis of Jigger and Trigger with a whole lot of Cloud. I'm wishing so hard that you'll find this future guy. Who would undress you from all of your inhibitions and envelopes you with all the love you deserve.
I love you so much Kaye and I do hope that you wold stay resilient and collected always (traits that a college student should have with the impending doom of finals). Love you and just try to stay happy always.
From your ever supportive long distance fwend.
