To my dearest Jovena.Happy Birthday! You're 21! I hope you have a super fantastic and memorable 21st :)
Although you're 21 now, to me we'll always be 15 and in pinafores, in the stuffy 3rd-floor corner classroom, mucking around and complaining about work and teachers. We may drive to meet each other now, wear pretty clothes when we see each other and have funny coloured hair, but it always seems unreal to me. I keep expecting that one day we'll wake up and be back in our trusty darkblue pinafore, sweating in class, emo-ing about school and wondering where life will take us. My heart has definitely not caught up with my head.
It seems almost surreal that we've left those days behind us for good, for 5 years now. It still seems strange to see everyone in their pretty clothes, with the image of them in pinafores and blouses still so vividly etched in my mind. My heart still expects us to go back to dark mornings and sweaty family dance assemblies, recess and orange bowl and toast, and the healthy old days of morning jog :p
These almost unbelievable 6 years have passed, we've seen batch after batch graduate and left our roots (and my heart) behind with them. Throughout this time, I'm tremendously glad to have always had you by my side, comforting me when I need comfort and letting me be when need be. I doubt anyone else knows my moods as well as you do (must be courtesy of our time sitting together as emo kids :p).
Today, the day that you officially become an adult and leave those teenage years behind, I hope you look forward to the future with hope and joy but still keep those long-ago memories close to your heart. Never fear the future, for you have us by your side :) Cheers!
Love always and always,
Mingyee.
