i guess, that’s why these messages have that effect on me.
because at a time when they’ve already chosen to step away from doing everything as a pair and make room for their own individual journeys, donny’s instinct is still to look at belle and talk about her future.
not theirs. hers.
the dreams she hasn’t reached yet. the heights she hasn’t touched yet. the possibilities still waiting for her.
and i don’t know… i find something incredibly romantic about that.
to love someone so deeply that their growth feels like your victory, too. to know exactly how much they want out of life and never ask them to dream smaller. never make them dim their own light.
last year, it was “the world is yours to take.”
this year, it was “fly higher than ever before.”
and somehow, ending both messages with ylang ylang makes the whole thing feel even more tender.
because for me, behind all those big declarations is the same message:
i know who you are. i know what you’re capable of.
go get it, love 🤍
tunay nga, ang sarap magmahal!
