To Those Who Matter.

Dear important people in my life,

I miss you.

I really do.

Sometimes, I wish to send a random message to your inbox just to let you know of how much I have missed you but those intentions, more often that not, would remain as mere intentions and never evolve to actions for fear that I am not able to reciprocate the amount of attention that you deserve, due to the current circumstances, in the long conversation that might ensued and thus,it might offend you. Due to that fear, I tend to reside with the option to miss you from afar with hopes that you would miraculously sense my emotions towards you with hopes that it could relay the slightest bit of my warmth to you, miraculously. But who am I kidding?

Dear important people in my life,

I want you to know that you are always in my mind. Whether it is  at the back of my mind, at the side of my mind or just merely passing through. Your absence is felt, tremendously. I cannot allow you to continue to not know of how much of an importance you are in my life, regardless of the time span we have known each other. Whether I have known you half of my life or have only met you twice. The number of years do not dictate the level of significance you have towards me. If you matter, you matter.

Whatever phase you are going through in your life, I hope that you are alright. I pray that life has been nothing but great. If otherwise, I pray that He eases everything for you. I thank technology for allowing this thin string between us that is connecting us to still remain, substantially. Looking at your updates make me smile and it brings nothing but warmth in me. I cannot help but to smile with you when I see you smiling through the screen. However, during the times when life is seemingly not on your side, I wish I could drop everything and meet you right that second to embrace you.

Dear important people in my life,

I am at a point in my life where I am trying to find the perfect balance in everything.  As of now, I am only able to make just enough time for my academia, my immediate family and my good friends that are close to me, physically. Otherwise, I have yet to calibrate the right ratio and work on the perfect theory to make time for everyone. I am trying my best as I want you to be a part of my priority. As I am in the pursuit of finding that equilibrium, I want you to know that I always miss you and that I always want to see you. There are so many questions that I would like to ask you when we meet.

How are you?
How has life been?
How’s your family?
Has your dream changed?

Until that day, I want you to know that I appreciate you for whatever significance you have in my life.

But as for now, I want you to know that you are always in my mind and has always been in my mind.

I love you,
important people in my life.
