Perfecting summer with an all red fit and blink-182’s First Date playing in the background.

Okay, so Jiro picked out the outfit. He said nothing, just left it on the bed before he went to the restaurant, and I stood there for a full minute looking at it like… Really? All red? And then I put it on and didn't say anything about it either because I was not going to give him the satisfaction. He asked how I looked when I got home. I said fine. He smiled into his coffee. I hate him a little bit for always being right.

I took this photo because I knew I'd want to remember it. He's holding a nectarine like it owes him an explanation. This is normal. This is every grocery run. I’ve learned to just let it happen. One other thing I have learned, after all this time, is that you don't rush Sojiro at a fruit stall. You just stand nearby, maybe look at something else for a while, and wait. Because when he finally picks something, it's always the right one. I don't know how he does it. Happy birthday to the person who brought that same unhurried, deliberate energy into my life and quietly made everything better for it. I didn't know I needed someone who took things slowly until I had you, and now I can't imagine going back to the version of myself that was always rushing past the good parts. Happy birthday, Jiro. Thank you for every fruit you've ever taken too long to choose. They were always worth the wait. So are you.

Dear @meinree, @mikaothan, dan @melveson… I am leaving this place with a full heart, and a lot of that is because of you three. Maureen, you are steady. The kind that makes everyone around you feel like things are going to be okay. Firm when it matters, but always with this gentleness underneath that I think people feel before they can explain why. Being in a space you hold together just feels different. It was safer, calmer, more grounded. I noticed that early and kept noticing it until the very end. Miko, even on the quieter days when we weren't really talking much, I never actually felt the distance. Your warmth just carries, somehow, without you having to do much at all. You have a way of making sure nobody feels left behind and I genuinely don't think you realise how much that lands for the people around you. Well, I hope now you do. Melvin, the chaos and the kocak-ness and the tingkah that came from absolutely nowhere… I will miss all of it, sincerely. But beyond all of that, you showed up. Every time, fully, not halfway somewhere else. Consistently present in a way that not everyone manages and not everyone tries, and I want you to know that I saw that and appreciated it more than I said out loud. I'm really glad our paths crossed. All three of you made this feel like something worth remembering, and I don't say that to just anyone. Thank you, genuinely, for being exactly who you are. 🤍 With love, Charlotte.
