To my certain someone,

Speaking of you, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I appreciate you. Even when we’re apart, you’re such an important part of my life.

The bracelet I made for you is more than just a simple gift—it’s a symbol of how much I care about you and how connected I feel to you, no matter where you are. I hope it brings a smile to your face when you finally have it. It might not be perfect, but it was made with a lot of love and good intentions.

Being sick has also given me some time to reflect on things. I’ve realized how often we take our health for granted until something like a cold or flu comes along to remind us how fragile we can be.

It’s so important to take care of ourselves and listen to our bodies when they’re telling us to slow down. I know I don’t always do the best job of that—I tend to push myself too hard sometimes, even when I should be resting. But I’m going to try to be better about it, for my own sake and for the sake of the people who care about me.

It’s strange how something as simple as a cold can make you feel so out of control. One day you’re fine, going about your usual routine, and the next, you’re stuck in bed, unable to do much of anything.

It’s a humbling experience, to say the least.

But it also makes me appreciate the days when I feel better and healthy even more. I think that’s one of the silver linings of being unwell—it reminds you to be grateful for the times when you’re able to do all the things you love without any restrictions.

I can’t wait to feel better and get back to my normal self. There are so many things I want to do once I’m healthy again. First and foremost, I want to finish a few projects I’ve been working on, including another set of beaded bracelets. I think I’m starting to get the hang of it, and I’d like to improve my skills.

Maybe I’ll even make a few more bracelets for other friends—it’s such a fun and creative way to show people that you care about them. Plus, it gives me something productive to do while I’m recovering.

For now, though, I’m going to focus on resting and getting through this cold. I know it’s just a matter of time before I start feeling better, and I’m doing everything I can to speed up the process. I’m grateful to have people like Shi Yu and Tianyang who are looking out for me and making sure I’m taken care of. And, of course, I’m grateful for you, Gege. Even though you’re not here right now, your presence is still felt in my life in so many ways.

Thank you for always being there for me, even when we’re apart. Your support and love mean the world to me, and I can’t wait until the day we can be together again.
