🌿 Of Hellos, Goodbyes & Everything In Between 🌿

Life’s a funny thing. One minute you're sipping kopi with friends, laughing about the time you tripped over a cat (your own, of course) while carrying groceries — and the next, you're quietly thinking about people who used to sit at that same table.

I came across a line that resonated so deeply, I had to let it breathe into words:

“People live, people die, people love, people cry. Some people give up, some people still try. Some say hi, some say bye. Others may forget you, but never will I.”

Simple. Real. Raw.

💭 Explanation

We’re all on this wildly unpredictable ride called life. Along the way, we gain, we lose, we stumble, we shine. Some people stay in our stories for chapters. Others? Just a paragraph — but their impact lingers like a stubborn kuih fragrance in Tupperware.

😂 Funny Anecdotes (Because Life Isn’t All Sad)

• I once texted “Goodbye” to someone I barely knew because I thought I was ghosted. Turns out, they were just on airplane mode — for two whole days.
• A friend cried watching a rom-com, only to find out later she was emotional because of PMS and a lack of carbs. She still thanks the movie for “unlocking her tears.”
• Another friend said “hi” to an ex at a wedding, then promptly tripped on her own dress. Karma? Grace? We’ll never know.

❤️ Conclusion

Whether they’re the ones who brought you laughter, broke your heart or helped you grow... they mattered. And maybe you mattered to them, too — more than you’ll ever know.

So here’s to those who came, stayed, left,or drifted.

Some may forget you.

But never will I.
