Open when you leave!

Open when you leave.

If you’re reading this, then you’re probably sitting at the airport, on the plane, or you’ve just arrived and it’s finally starting to feel real.

I know these next 3 months are going to be exciting for you, and honestly, I’m so proud of you for doing this. As much as I’m going to miss you, I never want you to hold yourself back from experiences like this. You deserve to see the world, chase opportunities, and do things that scare you a little.

Still… it’s going to feel strange without you here.

No random calls. No “what are you doing?” No seeing you after a long day. No little routines we don’t even think about anymore.

After 4 years together, you’ve become such a massive part of my everyday life that it’s hard to imagine things being quiet for a while.

But I need you to remember something while you’re over there:

Nothing about us changes because of distance.

No matter how many kilometres are between us, you’re still my person. Still the first person I want to tell things to. Still the one I think about during random moments of the day.

And even when things get hard over there, when you’re tired, homesick, overwhelmed, or just missing home. I need you to remember how loved you are back here.

I hope these next 3 months become something special for you. I hope you make memories you’ll talk about forever. I hope you feel confident, independent, excited, and proud of yourself.

And selfishly… I hope you miss me just a little bit too.

I love you.
