We grew up together for more than twenty years.
Same house. Same life. Same memories.
And somehow ā we became two crazy siblings who didnāt realize we were also best friends.
Two crazy siblings, best friends in disguise.
Things changed.
You moved out. I moved countries.
We both built our own lives.
And even though thatās how life is supposed to goā¦
I still miss it.
Even the normal days. Even the annoying moments. Even when it wasnāt perfect.
Miles apart, still finding a way to see your face.
I didnāt realize it at the time.
Iāll never forget that moment in the Netherlands.
The trampoline. That kid bullying me.
And you didnāt hesitate.
You came in, grabbed him, and dragged him straight to the teacher.
Youāve always been like that.
Looking out for me ā even when I didnāt ask.
You care about people more than they deserve sometimes.
Especially me.
Even when it affects you, you still choose to care.
And when you focus on what you love, youāre actually amazing at it.
I hope you see that more.
The goofball with the biggest heart.
I never really said this.
Iāve never really said this properly.
But Iām proud of you.
Of how far youāve come.
Of the person youāve become.
I respect you more than you probably know.
And I love you.
I just want you to be happy.
To find your purpose.
To enjoy where you are right now.
And honestlyā¦
I still hope you come to Thailand soon.
So we can spend time together again.
No matter where we are,
Iām always grateful to have you as my little big sister.
Iāll always be your annoying little brother.
Always my person.
Happy Birthday, PāJen š¤
