Dear Jellybean,

I’m gonna tell the world that you’re my lover, and my best friend.

Dear Jellybean,

I probably wouldn’t catch a grenade for you, throw my hand on a blade for you, or jump in front of a train for you.
It isn’t because I don’t love you; it is because I can’t catch, I faint at the sight of blood, and if I jumped in front of a train for you, we would both die.


Love,
Vi

P.S. Why are people throwing grenades, blades, and trains at you?

Dear Jellyban,

G’morning ! You know I’m Asian. Not really good in my Math though, so you can still count on the calculators when you’re with me. Wait, stop distracting me.

No, here’s the thing.

I’m Asian, right. I AM SO GLAD YOU AREN'T ASIAN. Because my cousins and friends are all marrying Asians and their children look the same!

It’s boring.

Love,
Vi

Dear Jellybean,

Well, you already are my boyfriend.

A lot of people as me “How do you know what love is?” They say we are too young to love, but maybe they are too old to remember. I love you with all my heart, Jellybean.

You’re my other half, my best friend, the reason for my smile, the beat to my heart, the music to my lyrics, the Cosmo to my Wanda, and the Macaroni to my Cheese.

I’ll see you again one day, and I know you’ll be waiting with arms wide open like you always do as soon as you see me. I love you to the moon and back, 4,000,000 times.

Forever yours,
Vi

#33

Dear Jellybean,

I apologize in advance for how difficult I am to deal with in the morning. I’m not a morning person by any means, but I hope that my actions throughout the day make up for my lethargy and sometimes sheer meanness in the morning.

Dear Jellybean,

I hope you won’t mind me leaving little notes/cartoons to remind you of how much I care for you. They’ll be in random places like your coat pocket, under your pillow, in your daily organizer or in your briefcase. I hope you’ll enjoy finding them and that they’ll put a smile on your face.

Love,
Vi

#31

Dear Jellybean,

I want to apologize ahead of time for being so insecure at times, but I’m really working on it. I also want to apologize for stealing all of the covers, but I promise if I wake up and you’re uncovered I will cover you back up, and probably steal some kisses.

xoxo,
Vi

Dear Jellybean,

I have a feeling you are more of a coffee drinker.
I am a tea drinker.

This is okay; it just means we don’t have to share when we go to cafes. You can still try my tea though.

Love,

Vi

Dear Jellybean,

I like the crusts on my sandwiches.

Dear Jellybean,

They say that love transcends all things.
Time, distance, and sometimes, even death.


I’ve been thinking lately, and I wonder if this old adage can actually be true. Can love transcend all challenges that life throws your way?

If two people were to meet, and they were to just click, only to discover a tremendous amount of things that could get in the way… would it matter?

I ask this, dearest, because I believe that love is a powerful thing. Love is the last form of magic left on this earth. Love is a rare force that makes life worth living.

And I’d like to believe that… if we were to find each other, and it seemed that there were monstrous forces trying to keep us apart… that love would transcend those things.

I’d like to believe that we would transcend those things.

Just something I’ve been thinking about lately.

Love,

Vi

Dear Jellybean,

You can tell me anything and everything and nothing and I’ll love you for every second of every minute of every hour of every day, because even though you’re not perfect, you’re perfect for me.

Love,

Vi

Dear Jellybean,

Will you be the Tristan to my Isolde?

Dear Jellybean,

I am built for comfort and for speed.

Please let me be your Short Skirt and Long Jacket Girl.

Think about it.

Dear Jellybean,

I actually write to you everyday, wondering how your day is or if anything memorable happened. I write it in a journal of sorts, just so that I am able to inform you of how I’m doing and what’s on my mind at the time. I also like to think that my writings will bring you back with me, almost as if you were there when I wrote them. I can barely imagine the day that we’ll be able to read them together. It seems almost unreal.

I like to believe that I’m romantic. I’ll write you a quick poem or some song lyrics that pop into my mind and place them in random spots for you to find. Should there be distance, expect to receive random texts or a short video message that I’ve prepared for you. I’ve already planned out some things that we’d be doing together, which is strange, seeing as I’m not usually structured.

I imagine waking you up with a pillow fight, of course with feather pillows. I’m not a violent person, but I will attack you with as many pillows as I can that morning. Don’t go easy on me. While the feathers are tossed all around in the air and you’re distracted, I will pounce on you. Or, who knows? Maybe you’ll sneak up on me?

I imagine us going into a bookstore or library and picking out our favorite books that we read as children. We’ll go to a corner and sit on the floor. You’ll wrap your arms around me as I shake my head at your impeccable taste in childhood literature. I’ll read your favorite book aloud, then you’ll read mine. If children happen to come over and listen to us, we can portray the different characters in the books and read aloud to them.

I imagine us with our friends, creating a hilarious musical for our local supermarket. It’ll probably be horrifying and embarrassing, but if we’re able to make at least one person smile, it will definitely be worth it.

I imagine us playing video games, despite my lack of skill. You’ll sit behind me and guide me to go whichever way I’m supposed to. If something randomly pops up on the screen, I’ll probably jump and hand you the controller. You’ll laugh at me as you continue the game, while my head is buried into your shoulder. However, if we’re playing a racing game against each other, I will not go easy on you. But if you’re good at racing games, please go easy on me. I think that they’re the only games that I possibly stand a chance at.

I imagine us going around town and making strangers smile. I love to make people smile, so we’ll have to find those with frowns on their faces and do all that we can to have them beaming at us. Maybe we can change the world one smile at a time? With you, anything’s possible.

I imagine us bowling, either alone or with our friends. There will definitely be some sort of competition. While I can be competitive, I am a great loser. I’ll proclaim myself as the Most Improved Player, while you’ll always be my MVP.

I imagine us mini-golfing, star-gazing, painting, trying different restaurants, walking around our city like tourists, enjoying the beach, falling asleep, waking up next to each other, holding hands, snuggling, texting, calling, loving one another, and anything else that you can think of.

While I’m into the cutesy romantic aspects of a relationship, there’s still reality that we have to face. There will be arguments, tears, hard work; but we will always find a way to fight through it and grow stronger. We will have passion, a magnetic draw to each other. We will be real.

There’s always the question: Would you rather have loved, then lost? Or never have loved at all? I would never deny myself the chance to love someone, even if we don’t end up together.

Love is magical, real, the finest pleasure of life. I already love you. I just can’t wait for the moment to fall in love with you. For that to happen, I need to find you or you find me. When we meet, wrap your arms around me and never let me go. I promise to do the same.

But until then,

xoxo
Vi

Dear Jellybean,

I’m a goof.

Yup, you read that right. I’m unapologetically a big goof who gets excited over playgrounds, swings, slides, rollercoasters, Disney Junior shows like Handy Manny etc etc. I love bubbles and cupcakes, squirt guns and lego. I may be 23 but I regress to a 4 year old pretty rapidly sometimes. It may get embarrassing but I promise to always show you the joy in the simple things in life, to help you keep having fun even through the sad days and make sure this never happens to us.

xoxo

Dear Jellybean,

Well, I count my blessings
And hug my luck like an old brass penny
With two heads up
It’s all right if you’re late
I just hope that you find your way soon

Shine down, light it up, wash it over
Wait around for my mandolin moon
Come around till the sweet sweet morning
Come along I’ll be waiting for you

xoxo

Vi

P.S.: Bonus points if you know this song without googling it! ;)

Dear Jellybean,

Trust me with your heart, and I promise I won’t break it. I will give you my love, and you must promise to treat it like your favorite book; well-worn, cared for, and read constantly. I want to give you all of me. I want you to give me all of you. I want you more than anything. And when I find you, or, more preferably, you find me, all I want you to do is one thing; be yourself. I want to know everything about you. I want you to know everything about me. Let’s be utterly amazing.

xoxo

Dear Jellybean,

I’m a naturally confident person and am pretty much an in-your-face, frank and no-holds-barred kinda person. I’m a dominant, alpha personality and may Zeus help anyone who gets in the way of that. Although I do very much appreciate the same behaviour back.

But underneath all that, is still a layer of insecurity. Just like every girl out there, I’m insecure about my body and appearance (although I consciously fight it because I don’t agree with societal standards of beauty). I am insecure about whether people genuinely want me in their lives, or they just like the energy and fun I bring around in the moment that I’m there. Well the list goes on but the point is that I generally hide these insecurities and try to work them out on my own.

But I’m going to do my best to learn to be vulnerable with you. To let go of this need to control everything that goes on around me. To let you in and trust that you will never let me fall and that even if I do, that you will catch me.

I’m giving you full permission here to push me to open up, to force me to let go of that control and just be vulnerable with you. Because everyone needs a reminder that they have an emotional safety net sometimes. And I’ll do the exact same for you.

Love,

Vi

Dear Jellybean,

I will be patient in finding you because I know G*d will lead me to you in due time. But until then, please keep being an amazing man. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Until we meet,
