We first met in 2019 while we were both in college. At that time, we were not even friends—we didn’t know each other at all, just two strangers passing through the same chapter of life. Yet, as time slowly unfolded, something unexpected happened. Circumstances brought us closer, giving us the chance to get to know each other. What started as unfamiliarity gradually turned into connection, and that connection grew into something meaningful. But just as it began to feel special, life separated us. We were pulled apart by situations beyond our control, and our paths went in different directions.
