Thoughts
Zara, I know it's been quite a while since you heard from me, so I know my words may not reach you in the way I'd like it to. I would like to first thank you. Despite the fact we grew further apart and we had our occasional disagreements, our interactions were still based on the principles of respect, kindness, and humour every now and then. Some recent time ago, I thought I should message you to see how you're doing, but the first question I asked myself was, "Would she even want to talk to me?" and I immediately refrained from acting on that thought. I guess this mentality is the consequence I'll have to live with for not being able to properly nurse the social relationships of my past. I always find myself in a spiral of what could've been, just to snap out of it and be faced with the reality of how I didn't handle things the way I wanted to. Seeing that I can't message you anymore, I deeply regret not messaging you then. Even though you may have looked past some of my mistakes, I still feel the need to ask that you forgive me. I regret not being appreciative enough of your warm-hearted nature and outstanding character while we were still in Avi-Cenna. I'll take heed from my mistakes and cherish the memories we shared.

Zara,I'm deeply saddened to hear about your passing. Though we weren't the closest, I will always remember the moments we shared in Avi-Cenna, especially when you scolded me whenever I try to crack inconvenient jokes. You were a part of our group, and your presence from primary school to year 11, even in the smallest ways, made a difference. It's hard to believe that you're no longer with us.
I wish we had more time to get to know each other better, to share a laugh, or just enjoy the simple moments. I'm sure you had so much more to offer for the future, and it's heartbreaking that your journey was cut short.
To your family and friends, my heart goes out to them. I can't imagine the pain they must be feeling. I hope they find comfort in the memories they have of you both in and outside Avi-Cenna, and that you're at peace now.
You'll be missed, and your absence will be felt by all of us in Avi-Cenna who had the privilege of knowing you, even in the brief time we shared. Rest in peace.

Never thought I’d be writing this for Zara so soon. Zara was such a strong and admirable person. I’ll never forget the get well soon card that you and Oyinda made for me while I was recovering from my injury. It was such a kind gesture and a memory I’ll always hold onto. Thanks for always bringing the fun to Add Maths class.
