there's something I want to tell you before you head out...
to keep you company today
of who you are, while you wait
One island apart doesn't change much ... I still cheer the loudest for you from here.
Can't wait to see you in Bali again, hold your hand, and just sit somewhere with coffee and no thesis talk for once.
Whatever happens in that room, you've already won against the version of you that once doubted she'd make it this far.
You're not alone in this. I'm here, waiting for the good news, proud of you starting now ... not just after you pass.
Breathe, smile, and answer the panel the way you answer me when I quiz you the night before: slow, sure, and right.
