You’re leaving town tomorrow, and I wanted to write something to you.

I have always known that you are going to be a great doctor one day, and I have no doubt about it. You are one of the smartest people I have ever met, and I truly mean it when I say that I’m proud of you. Please, be proud of yourself too. It’s not easy to be standing where you are right now, but somehow you made it. That’s how strong you are. Once again, I’m proud of you.

When I said that you don’t have to change a thing about yourself, I meant it. For me, you’re perfect just the way you are. The way you look at the world, the way you talk, and the way you laugh – it’s more than enough. I believe it’s easy for people to fall in love with you, and I guess I’m one of them.

Hearing your stories or our late-night calls have been the best parts of my day. I feel like I could spend the rest of my days just listening to you, and it would never get boring. You’re leaving again tomorrow, crossing the sea, sailing on that big boat. You’re going to study again, and I want to tell you that it’s not going to be easy. There will be moments when you doubt yourself or when you just want to cry and go home. That’s why I’m writing this letter, so you can read it again when you’re feeling down, when the world makes you sad.

Through this letter, you’ll know that there is someone on another island who is incredibly proud of you and loves you very much. I wish I could be around you when the world makes you feel blue or when you are on top of the world. I wish I could hear your laughter or see your smile for the rest of my life. But I also realize that things are more complicated than that. We never know what tomorrow might bring, and I’m curious about what it will bring.

Please take care of yourself, okay? Eat healthy, and try to get more sleep. I care about you more than I care about anyone else. I have learned a lot just by talking with you. I’m not perfect nor blessed with much love in my life, but hearing that you earned the highest grade in your class that night at Kawan made me feel so proud of you. Maybe that’s love.

If there is one song that could describe you, I guess it would be this song. You clearly deserve the best things in this world, and if anyone ever hurts you, those people would be in hell, and I would give them hell. All these months of talking with you have made me happier than I ever thought I could be, and I hope you feel the same way just by talking with me. I love you, and I hope one day you’ll realize that.

So if you ever feeling down, please read again this letter from the beginning.

– Kenny R, coolest manager ever.
