It started on Bumpy.
One app. One hello. And somehow, you. I wasn't expecting someone who would make me smile at my phone quite this much.
✧ SEPTEMBER 28 · YOUR DAY, MARIA
Happy birthday,

Twenty-four looks lovely on you.
And even from far away, I wanted to make
your world a little sweeter today.

psst… this one's yours
SENT WITH LOVE, FROM AYOUB01 / AN UNEXPECTED BEGINNING
Funny how a little hello
can become my favorite part.
Then came the little things.
The stories, the details, the things you call oversharing. For the record? I love hearing them. I love that you let me into your world.
And now, here we are.
Different places, a very new beginning, and me… maybe falling for you a little. Okay, maybe more than a little. Hehe.
02 / LITTLE THINGS, WORTH KEEPING
A place for our moments.
No rush. We have a whole
little story left to make.

A few words.
All yours.
If I could fold the distance,
I'd put this in your hands.
Dear Maria,
We've only just started getting to know each other, but you've already made ordinary days feel a little different. A little warmer. A lot more interesting.
I like the way you tell me things. The extra details, the little detours in a story, the way you're so open with me. Please don't ever think you're telling me too much. I'm happy to listen.
And I think there's something really lovely about the fact that you teach. You spend your time helping people find their words, while I'm over here trying to find the right ones for you.
For your 24th birthday, I hope you feel appreciated. I hope you laugh a lot, have your favorite ice cream, and get a little of the kindness you give to others back.
I wish I could be there to say this in person. For now, here's a little piece of my heart, sent across the distance.
Maligayang kaarawan, Maria. ♡
With love,Ayoub
Different places. Same little sky.
