When the Universe Finally Said Yes

-

Dear blog,

Today i finally met the person I’ve been writing about here. Yep, it's Jasmin.

I’ve been wanting to meet Jasmin for so long. For years, the thought of crossing paths again stayed quietly at the back of my mind. I always knew where ⚘ were, but maybe i just never had the courage to show up. It’s strange how sometimes the heart knows what it wants but still hesitates when the moment finally comes.

Today, i just go for it. I didn’t plan to, but god’s plan was kinder. Somehow our paths crossed again, at the exact moment when i wasn’t even trying. The universe finally works when you finally stop forcing things.

And there ⚘ were, standing right in front of me. Familiar, yet somehow softer. Seeing that familiar face again felt surreal. Three years ago, i could barely hold a glance, and now here i am, standing close, smiling, laughing, like the universe pressed play after a long pause. ⚘ was the sweetest and full of warmth i didn’t know i needed. So different from the version i used to quietly fear back then. I used to wonder how it would be to meet again, and now i finally know. I think i always knew there was a softer side, something only a few could see, Something only the lucky ones get to treasure. And I’m just glad i did.

I never thought I’d see my face appear in ⚘'s story, or find ⚘'s name sitting quietly in my dm list. It’s a small thing, but somehow it felt like the universe’s gentle way of saying, “you did it, you finally got here.”

Today, something in me felt complete. Like the universe finally filled a space i didn’t even realize was still empty. Like finally reaching the part of the story that makes everything make sense. Something in me just settled...in the kind that whispers, “this is what you’ve been waiting for.”

Maybe that’s all i ever wanted, to cross paths again, this time with a softer heart and a lighter soul.

Sebelum ini pernah hampir bersua, tapi belum waktunya. I prayed hard to god for the universe to allow it this time. And finally, it did, in a way i never expected to happen. 

After all that I’ve written, this feels like a happy ending. The kind that makes every word before this finally make sense. But maybe, it’s not an ending after all. Just a pause, before the next story finds its way here.

Sampai jumpa lagi, My Jasmin⚘.

With a heart that’s finally calm after finding what it’s been longing for,

Syaf Sal

The Quiet Blossom of Jasmin

Dear Jasmin ⚘, Like the flower that carries your name, you have a presence both gentle and unforgettable. ___ We were never close, not in the way people usually are. Most of the time it was only me, watching quietly from a distance, carrying a kind of admiration I could never put into words. And yet even from afar, you have a way of filling the silence, of making the world feel a little softer, a little more beautiful. There is a guarded air, perhaps shaped by storms, but behind it I believe there is a sweetness untouched. It is the little things that matter most. A fleeting glimpse, a passing moment, even the smallest trace left behind. To others it might mean nothing, but to me it is enough to brighten a day. After years of silence, life somehow allowed us to cross paths again, even if only through the small windows of social media. And for that, I am grateful. I do not hope for closeness, nor do I expect anything more. Just knowing that your presence exists once again in my world al...

A Timeline I Never Expected

Dear Jasmin ⚘, I used to pray for something small. Just to sit with you, talk with you, exist in the same space without feeling like the universe was playing a game with my hopes. I thought that was already too much to ask. But somehow, life gave me more than anything i ever imagined. Even until now, I still can’t fully believe how close we have become. Sometimes I catch myself pausing, replaying moments, just to make sure this is real.  How we went from you barely even recognize who I am, and me being too afraid to even approach you, to laughing casually in your house like it has always been this way. To texting you before bed like it’s the most normal thing in the world. To inviting you out and not feeling like I am asking for something impossible anymore. There was a time when even the thought of sitting down for a meal together felt impossible. I never thought I’d be the person you’d think of when you see something fun, something gen z-ish, something meant to be...

A Glimpse That Wasn’t Enough

Dear Jasmin ⚘, I can't believe my next post is still about you. After a few years, our paths crossed again. I never thought I’d get even the slightest glimpse, yet today life decided to surprise me in its own quiet way. I’ve been carrying this silent hope for so long, wishing that one day, somehow, our paths would meet once more. And today, it happened. Not in the way I imagined, not in the way I kept replaying in my head, but still, it happened. I saw you. Your car, I mean. For a second, my heart leaped. I thought it was finally the moment I’ve been waiting for. The chance to see you, even just from a distance. But it wasn’t. It was only your car, a trace of your presence without you in it. I stood there wondering, what if I had just waited a little longer? What if I stayed, patiently, and maybe, just maybe, you would appear? Even a glimpse would have been enough for me. Because sometimes, that’s all the heart needs, a reminder that what it longs for is still somewhere close...
