no higher value than sentimental value

i really have no idea who to thank.

when i think about it, i'm just overwhelmed with gratitude. so much so that i'm running out of ways to express it. so much so that i have to stop myself from repeating the same talking point over and over again. but you can't stop feelings. they just happen within you spontaneously. it's up to us how we'll manifest it in the real world. unfortunately for me, i'm a man of limited social repertoire. yeah sure, my vocabulary's vast, but talk is cheap.

and yet, it's the only thing i really have.

but my words of appreciation are a result of what came naturally to me. i stayed present, i cared, i brought the best value that i could. i don't want it to ever end. and given that it's something that resulted from my innate traits, it's probably not going to be hard to keep it going for as long as possible.

there aren't a lot of things i don't want to end. usually i'm counting down the hours. but this time around, it's the hours i count after the fact. the value of life used to be measured by the quantity of time. but it had never occurred to me that life becomes more valuable when spent with the best quality time. it's something that i celebrate silently. there aren't a lot of magical things in the world. this is one of it. and i can keep saying these things as much as i can. but again, talk is cheap. i don't like promising forever. i like proving forever.
