As this year comes to an end, I’ve been thinking a lot about everything that happened, and no matter how much I replay it in my head, one thing stays constant: you were the best part of it all. This year had ups, downs, stress, laughs, lessons, and moments I’ll never forget — and you were there through it all, whether you realized it or not. You came into my life and changed the way this year felt. You made ordinary days better just by being you. Your presence, your words, your care, even the small things you do without thinking — they all mattered more to me than I probably showed. You supported me in ways that went deeper than just words, and you believed in me even when I doubted myself. There were moments when things weren’t perfect, when life was heavy or confusing, but having you made everything feel more manageable. You taught me patience, understanding, and what it really means to care about someone. I learned a lot this year, but one of the biggest things I learned is how much having the right person beside you changes everything. I’m grateful for every laugh we shared, every deep conversation, every silly moment, every late night, and even every difficult moment that helped us grow. All of it mattered. All of it shaped us. And I wouldn’t trade a single memory. Ending this year with you in my life feels right. It feels grounding. It feels like something I want to protect and continue building. As we step into a new year, I hope we keep choosing each other, keep growing together, and keep creating moments we’ll look back on and smile about. Thank you for being you, for being patient with me, for caring the way you do, and for being such an important part of my life. I’m really thankful for you this year, and hopefully many more to come.
