Grateful for you, always

To My Dearest Friend Tenchoe,

It’s hard to believe that we’ve known each other for over 10 years now. Time has flown, but one thing has always remained constant—you. Through all the changes, all the ups and downs, and all the chaos life has thrown our way, you’ve been one of the few steady, unwavering presences in my life. And for that, I am endlessly thankful.

We’re so different in so many ways—our personalities, our ways of handling things, even our outlooks sometimes. But somehow, that never mattered. In fact, it only made our bond stronger. You’ve taught me that true friendship isn’t about being the same, but about accepting, supporting, and loving one another despite the differences—and often because of them.

You’ve always been the real one. The one who never hesitates to show up, to speak the truth, to care deeply, and to love purely. When it comes to friendship, you are the best—no exaggeration. You know how to show up when it matters, how to listen without judgment, how to laugh with me (and at me), and how to pull me up when I forget who I am.

I honestly don’t know how I got so lucky to have you in my life, but I thank the universe every day for it. Thank you for being you. For being real. For being consistent. For being the kind of friend that’s rare to find and impossible to replace.

Here’s to all the years we’ve had—and to the many more to come. I appreciate you more than words can ever truly say.

With all my love,

Tsechoedon<3
