Letter to My Future Heart
Binged Violet Evergarden in Netflix last weekend, both the anime and movie, and the whole experience left me pensive and a tad bit yearning. (I suggest you watch if you want a good cry.)
While I was listening to a song played in the middle of the anime extra episode, I came by one of its lyrics which go along like this,
Love is always where the sun shines.
Even if it can’t be seen.
Even if it can’t be felt.
It is always by our side.
and at the very moment I decided to write my very 1st love letter to my future partner.
You see, I’ve never been in a relationship in all of my 33 years and I honestly doubt if I am even capable of experiencing love because I’ve always felt alone and left out even in the company of my loved ones, like I’ve always be on the outside looking in.
Watching the protagonist experience the different types of love from the people surrounding her while gradually opening her heart and eventually discovering herself in the process is something I hope to find someday.
Likewise, if I were ever lucky enough to find someone to share that journey with, I hope to give them this letter to let them know that even if our paths have yet to cross, I’ve already thought about loving them with all my heart.
For the symbolism, I had my wax stamp custom made with the design being two carnations quietly basking under the sun’s rays.
Just like in the song, I hope that I can convey my feelings to my future partner: that my sincere love for them will hopefully always find its way to their side — no matter the distance, timeline or circumstance.
