where every corner holds the enchantment of our journey together.

Welcome to Samdal-ri (2023)

You may be one year older today, and time may travel swiftly as seasons change each year, yet you remain the same person that I adore. I feel fortunate that I randomly stumbled upon someone who has become as special as you are now. I am grateful that you exist in this world and that we are able to share this lifetime together.

At the end of my despair, I found you at last, don’t forget. You’re the last reason for me who was standing on the edge of cliff.

My love, I am grateful that you make me feel I am not alone in facing the frightening corners of each tomorrow. With you, I could feel that you could see it all. My despair did not drive you away, and as the surroundings started to become transparent, I couldn’t help but appreciate how you strive to understand me, especially in times when I struggle to grasp my own existence.

Since falling for you, I have found myself smiling more brightly, as if your presence brings a newfound hope and lightness to my days that fills my heart with joy. This feeling is a treasure, a gentle reminder of the happiness you bring into my life. It’s as if I were wandering lost in a crumbling sandcastle, but then you arrived to rebuild it with me.

Let’s build a door in your mind. Once you open the door and enter, this place will wait for you.

Every time I gaze into your eyes, I sense your striving to grow, fueled by the dreams you hold. Just as you have become my solace, I want to reciprocate the warmth. So, if the world’s burdens weigh you down more than before, and the wings of your aspirations seem to crumble, remember, there is always a place to rest. In our magic shop, I would become the caretaker, offering you comfort and encouragement. Inside this sanctuary, I will always remind you that you are never alone.

I hope that together we can build this place — a haven where our love will flourish and our dreams will soar. May it echo with our precious memories and the melodies of our shared hopes, where our heartfelt promises find their fruition. I hope that this magic shop will stand as a testament to the growth of our story.

You gave me the best of me, so you’ll give you the best of you.

Gabriel, you have shown me the best version of myself and inspired me with your constant love and support. Your faith in me has been my guiding light. Today, as you continue on your journey called life, I am certain that you will give the world the best of yourself. Your willingness and potential to achieve your goals are undeniable; all you have to do is believe in yourself. May your light continue to shine in the hearts of all who have been touched by your presence.

Happy birthday, my love, and may your day be as special as the love you bring into my life.
