I wasn’t able to see your first performance, or the first time you fell in love with the stage, or even those uncertain days you endured. But I am thankful now that I am here. Just one of the people in the crowd.
Your voice works to heal, even to the weight of the burdens I can’t name. Your dance leaves me always in awe and beyond motion. And your face... How can be someone so handsome and unreal? But even that fades compared to what matters most. It’s your heart, JL.
Before I got to know JL, it felt like there was an extra weight in my life that felt like it was being piled on me at once. I quietly deal it with myself. But now, I would turn to you, listen to your voice, watch your performance. Just seeing JL happy, something about that made the weight feel less heavy.
Describing JL isn’t so simple. It might be the sincerity he puts in everything that makes it so easy to connect with, or the way JL is always so kind that there are days I think if he is still a human or an angel (you are an angel, truly)
This birthday, I wish JL days will be happy. May it bring you to all the places you want to be, all the stages you have been wanting to perform, and all the memories you wish to have. I wish that you have everything you need, and all the love from the people who make you feel like the best version of you.
I know it is going to come at the difficult days and when that happens, I hope you remember that many people are behind you cheering on you. They are still here. We are still thinking about you and still to this day, I can say truly that you are loved, and you are okay and you will always be.
I started this account and chose the name “dearjl.” I wanted it to feel like a quiet letter of support. It became a space where I let the photos speak for me where my support for you is clear and constant, no matter where I am. And even I am now miles away from you, I will continually do so.
Happy Birthday, JL.
