A little world for you

It all started with a message...

And somehow, that little beginning became one of my favorite parts of life.

This is our story, Kim. And I’m so glad you’re in it.

Take me to our story ↓

IIOur time

Look how far a little message has taken us.

Some of the best things in life don’t arrive with a grand entrance. Sometimes, they begin with a simple hello.

Together, so far

months
days
hours

since

And somehow, you’re becoming a part of more of my tomorrows.

and then came the little things

IIIThe little things

It’s the little things that make us, us.

A conversation that lasts longer than expected. A voice that makes a difficult day feel lighter. A smile I find myself remembering when you’re not around.

  1. 01

    The Beginning

    One little conversation, without either of us knowing just how much it could come to mean.

    Our first conversation
    Kim Kyla
    1. Kim: I’ll tell you something important too2:17 PM
    2. Kim: Please remember to smile more often. Sometimes you appear very serious or unapproachable 🤣2:18 PM
    3. Me: I will try 😅🙏2:19 PM😂
    4. A little later
    5. Kim: You can still enjoy yourself without drinking alcohol. Try to become more comfortable around people and participate in conversations sometimes. Don’t always keep your distance, being more open and approachable will help you connect better with others. 😌2:30 PM👍
    6. Kim: It’s up to you, you’ll grow old alone if you keep acting like that hahahaha2:31 PM😂

    The First Call

    A voice can make someone feel closer, even when they’re miles away.

  3. 03

    The First Date

    A day that deserves to be remembered for more than just the place we went.

    The Moment I Realized You Were Special

    Some people don’t need to change your whole world at once. They just make it feel a little less ordinary.

  5. 05

    A Little Moment I’ll Always Remember

    The kind of memory that might look small to anyone else, but means something entirely different to me.

the ones I carry with me

IVReminders of you

Somehow, you find your way into the little things.

A song sounds different. An ordinary day feels a little brighter. And sometimes, something happens and my first thought is simply, “I wish I could tell you about this.”

From your kitchen

You cooked for me.

Some people say how they feel with words. You said it with a whole pan of this.

Ingredients

  • chicken
  • broccoli
  • a creamy sauce
  • more love than any recipe calls for

A few little clips

  • Just you, being you
  • Your everyday voice
  • Us, at the aquarium
  • A moment worth replaying
  • A little piece of our story

and one sound in particular

VYour voice

There’s something about your voice.

I still think about how different your singing voice sounds from your everyday voice. There’s something so gentle about it, and somehow, it suits those calm songs perfectly.

Your voice

Some sounds stay with you long after the moment is over.

and the places that hold us

VIOur places

It’s not always about where we go.

Sometimes, a place becomes special because of the time we spent there, the conversations we had, or simply the fact that you were there with me.

01Our first meeting

Tim Hortons, Emirates Towers

Just a café on an ordinary day — until it became the place where we first met.

VIIAnother chapter of us

Happy Monthsary, Kim. ❤️

Another month of getting to know you, finding little reasons to smile, and being grateful that our paths crossed.

I don’t need every day to be extraordinary. I just love the thought of sharing more ordinary days with you, too.

One month at a time, one memory at a time, one little chapter after another.

for the days in between

VIIIFor the days apart

For the moments you wish I were there.

A little something to keep close, especially on the days when we’re not in the same place.

and finally, this

IXBefore you go

If there’s one thing I hope you remember...

Kim,

I never imagined that a simple beginning could become something I’d look forward to so much.

You took the first step toward someone who had grown used to keeping the world at a distance. And somehow, you made it feel a little easier to let someone in.

I love the way the little things with you can make an ordinary day feel different. A conversation, your voice, your smile, or even a message at the right moment can stay with me longer than you might realize.

I’m still learning how to express everything I feel, and sometimes the words don’t come out as easily as I’d like. But I hope that, with time, I can show you more clearly what you mean to me.

I don’t need our story to be perfect. I want it to be real — full of learning, laughter, patience, understanding, and memories that belong to us.

And if I could ask for one thing, it would be this: let’s keep discovering each other, one little moment at a time.

Thank you for taking that first step.
Thank you for becoming part of my story.
And thank you for being you.

With love, always,
Yours ❤️ Elshabrawi
