Hi. Though I’m not sure who the sender is, thank you for meeting yourself halfway and finding the nerve to say what needed saying. I hope relief followed right behind your message, Teacup. Truth be told, I’ve made peace with what came before 2026 and have only well wishes for everyone I’ve crossed paths with, that I hope the wish finds you, too.

We all deserve a beginning that feels easy enough to breathe in, don’t we?

Uhm… I’m not sure whether your words have a hidden note or were simply spoken as they are, but thank you nonetheless, Teacup. I haven’t kept it short for long, so keeping it long feels like the only choice that makes sense to me. Still, if there’s another layer to what you meant, I’m all ears. You’re welcome to tell me more, if you feel like it

That wish is exactly what I’m working toward this month. I’ve begun patching things up, taking a careful look at what needs fixing, and I hope knowing that brings you a bit of ease, Teacup.

Also, I did have a small hunch about where these letters might be coming from. Perhaps just a fanciful guess, or maybe a wish in disguise. Still, I’ve seen enough to have an idea of who it could be, if that answers your curiosity enough

Happy New Year to us, Teacup! I hope this year meets you softly, keeping away the sore parts so you can look at the world with lighter eyes. And… did you send this letter in the middle of the night? I only just read it now, I’m really sorry.

On that note, I hope your dream turned out sweet, Teacup. Ramen is, after all, the only way to have a heart-to-heart, even in sleep. I hope we were smiling there as we got embraced by the warmth of the ramen. And please don’t apologize for missing someone, Teacup. It’s bound to happen, I do it too sometimes, and there’s really nothing to be shy about

A bright New Year to us all, Teacup! May good things stay close this year 🍀🤍

So I take it you’re the same sender as the previous letter, yes? Sure! I’m in the middle of a commission at the moment, but beyond that I’m open to a conversation… where would you like this to go, Teacup?

Hello, Teacup! I’m relieved I caught your message in time. As for my day, it turned out lovely! I reunited with friends after a while and ended it with a nap alongside my cats. I hope your day was just as kind to you, okkie! ♡

A pleasant day to you, Teacup. Thank you for reaching out like this… I see exactly where you’re coming from. I’m glad that, even as the day wound down, you still made room for us to find our way back to one another, and I appreciate that more than I can say. Please, feel free to follow my account; once we’re mutuals, I’ll reach out, as there are a few things I’d like to talk about beyond simply being reunited 🤍

It’s alright, Teacup. I’d like to keep my answer to myself for the time being, something only I’m meant to hold. I’m sorry if it doesn’t satisfy your curiosity, and thank you for giving me the space to keep it private!

This is such a gentle note to rise to… truly warms the morning. It’s lovely to know my days still hold somewhat a charm in your eyes, Teacup. I’m not really back to the version of “okay” I used to carry months ago, yet the hints of it are returning; slow but present. And having you patiently witnessing the steps makes it feel even better. Thank you for that 🥺
