2021 gave me a whiplash, but you guys were the cure for my pain.

It has been a long flight but you guys were like the coffee break that relieved my jet lag. So, I would like to say, thank you.

Thank you teachers for your patience and guidance, for telling us to sleep early and giving us TED talks every now and then.

And to my friends, thank you for being my personal emergency call handler whenever I dialed 119, for standing by me, being there for me and sticking with me like a sticker.

Thank you for having my back when things were tough. I had a beautiful time with you all and the memories that we have created together will forever be irreplaceable.

They’re beautiful — the memories of us crying and laughing together (My Youth 01:20); the moments we’ve shared light up the night sky (My Youth 01:04).

In future, when you look back on those days, those memories, I hope you’ll laugh like you always do (Beautiful Time 01:03). I’ll remember you all in this changing season; I’ll remember you, remember us for a long time (My Youth 03:04).

When we meet next time — I hope yall don’t ignore me :/ — say hello with a smile (My Youth 02:47) okay. Let’s say goodbye like how we do every other day, as if we will see each other the next day too (Beautiful Time 02:21).

love, ally t ♡
