//a letter before departure// love, iffah 🤍

a short video letter i made before our departure to Japan. i just want to say thank you for being here and watching me grow into the person ive become now. i have still a long journey to go, and its just the beginning of a new chapter in my life. i am very nervous and scared of the possibilities in the future, but i am at peace with myself right now and thats why i want to make this video in the first place. i want to remind my future self and everyone that we're going to get through the hard times, just like before. it may seem like its never ending, but it will pass. the pain will pass. i never want you to lose yourself, no matter how much things have changed, never stop smiling and carry yourself with grace. you are not alone. love is meant to given and received equally. treasure everything because you'll miss it and you'll forget alot of things. write about it. take some pictures of the moments and keep them in your journal. everything will be alright 🤍

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
