If you asked me a year ago what I thought my life would be like right now, I wouldn’t have even come close to imagining this. I never would’ve guessed that I’d have you in my life, but here we are, and I couldn’t be more grateful. This past year has been a lot—so much has changed for me. Not just in terms of where I am physically or the people I’ve surrounded myself with, but I’ve changed as a person, too. The person I was a year ago is not the person I am now, and a lot of that is because of you. From the moment you entered my life, everything shifted. You’ve made my world better in ways I didn’t even know were possible. I never realized how much more there was to life until you showed me. You’ve taught me that I don’t have to settle, that I can aim higher and reach for what I truly deserve. You’ve opened my eyes to things I’d been blind to before, and for that, I can’t thank you enough. You’re one of the most remarkable people I’ve ever met. There’s a depth to you that’s hard to put into words. Your resilience, your kindness, the way you hold onto your faith and your mindset—it’s all inspiring. Your passion for the things you care about is something I admire so much. I find myself constantly drawn to you, not just because of how incredible you are, but because of how you make me want to be better. You’ve got this energy about you that just pulls people in, and I’m no exception. I can’t help but feel grateful every day that you’re a part of my life. I’ve never been good with words, especially when it comes to expressing feelings, but I’m trying here. The love I have for you is something that goes beyond what I can explain. It’s deeper than what words can cover. The connection we share is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s something real, something solid, and it’s hard to imagine my life without it. I know that I’m not always easy to deal with, and I know that I can be difficult at times, but you see me for who I really am. You don’t try to change me; you accept me as I am, flaws and all. That means more to me than I can express. I’ve never felt this kind of understanding before. There’s this comfort with you, a sense that I don’t have to hide parts of myself or pretend to be something I’m not. You’ve made me feel seen, and for that, I will always be grateful. I don’t take that for granted. It’s rare to find someone who can really see you, not just the surface, but everything underneath. And with you, I feel like I can truly be myself. I know I’m not perfect, and I know I have my struggles. I’ve got my baggage, and I’ve got my issues, but you’ve never made me feel like I’m too much to handle. You’ve never made me feel like I’m not worth the effort. You’ve shown me time and time again that you’re willing to work through things with me, and that means more than I can say. I want to keep working through things with you, because I know we can make it through anything together. I want to keep growing with you, learning with you, and experiencing everything life has to offer, side by side. I truly do love you. And I see you for you. You will always be the alma de mi vida. La luz de mi dia. (Soul of my life, light of day) So, with that being said, I have something to ask you. Will you please please pleaseeeee be my Valentine?
