Hi sanya won

There is something so strange about graduation. Not tragic enough to call grief, not light enough to call nostalgia. Just this quiet feeling that everyone is slowly packing themselves away.

I lie in my bed at 11:34 pm and think about the full circle moments people are having. How i’ve ended up naturally spending time with people who got close 3 years ago and then drifted apart. How people are watering burnt bridges because its the epilogue. But why do i not have a will to smell the smoke again.

I have had a true rollercoaster of a college life. And by that i mean it went down and down and down until I met you guys, and its only gone up ever since.

I don’t think you realise what you did for me. Maybe you never will. The funny thing is that life-changing moments rarely announce themselves. They happen casually. Accidentally. Through breakfast in class breaks and random conversations and people sitting next to each other one too many times. Through class representative elections and annoying professors and shared auto rides and “Dinner when?” texts.

I may not say this enough, not at all in fact, but i am ever so grateful for you guys. For every ordinary day you unknowingly saved for me. For every time you made life feel lighter. For giving me a version of college I actually want to remember.

Hi akshu won, the day akshu won, changed my life forever. I am so thankful for republicanism and student politics and democracy for creating the butterfly effect that led us to meet. You brought my spark back. Around you, I became louder again. Softer again. Meaner in the funny way. Kinder in the important way. I found myself because of you. I have loved you. And i have loved myself because of you.

To all my days, from your 100 days. I love you guys.
