To Tsholofelo

Last Sunday, when I was drowning inside myself, feeling the familiar weight of sadness and fear, you noticed me. You saw the cracks in my smile, the shadows in my eyes, even when I tried to hide it. 🥺

You didn’t push, you didn’t judge. You just reached out. You pulled me out, you listened, and in that simple act, you reminded me that I am not invisible. That someone sees me. That someone cares. 😭

I know you’ve carried your own scars, your own pain. Yet, even with that, you offered me comfort. You reminded me that even in the darkness, there can be a light. And that light… was you. 🥺

I can’t express how much it meant to me. How rare it is to meet someone who feels empathy so deeply, who gives even when they’ve had to survive their own storms. I will never forget this. 🫂

Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for seeing me. Thank you for being real, human, and beautiful in your own pain. I am forever grateful. 😭❤️
