Maksym Slojka

Goodbye Maks, I promise that we'll honour your memory 

hey, maks; you were such an amazing, bubbly person that always captivated everyone when talking about what you loved. you were so yourself. you would remember everyone’s birthdays because you would look at all of their charts, which is something that always stood out to me. you left a lasting impression on me that i will never forget. if only i could’ve visited you more often. we will meet again. 

Maks,

my sweet angel I miss you more than words can express. It feels as though the only person I’d like to talk about your death to is you.

Last time we met you were there for me one last time. My most supportive friend. We talked about the future. I cry for the apartment we’ll never share, for the travels we’ll never go on and all the love for you that I didn’t express enough.

Two week before you left you gave me a note. It was the sweetest thing. You told me a thousand hearts could not hold your love for me. You thanked me for everything. I cherish that note, I wish I’d known why you wrote it...

The other day I thought if I’d never met you, I wouldn’t have all this pain in my heart. But I am thankful to have known you because all the joy and comfort you gave me outshine all the pain and desperation I feel. The happy memories are worth a million times more than the sorrow I feel.

I’m sorry I couldn’t save you, I’m sorry I failed you, I’m sorry I didn’t save you. You deserved so much better. I will always hold you in my heart. I wish you were here with me. 

Dear Maks,
I didn't know you well, but I definitely would've liked to. Being in the same tutorial group as you- even if only for a month or so- was a pleasure. Ever since the first time I saw you I've been wanting to tell you that you're cool. Seems kind of inadequate, but I loved the way you carried yourself. You were someone who was truly and completely himself, regardless of the situation and I respect you a lot for that. We weren't super close; more acquaintances than friends, but I really wish I could give you a hug right now. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. I'm sorry the world didn't treat you the way you deserved to be treated. Thank you for being you. Rest well, Maks.

Dear Maks,

I keep thinking of you. You were such a bright, kind and lovely person. I always felt that you had so much to say about life but was struggling to find the right words at times. I would have loved to hear all of your ideas and views on the world, I feel sad that I didn't get to know you better. That one time we ate so much we almost exploded and the only thing we could do was lay down and talk, while you twirled my hair, felt so safe and happy. I'm so sorry life didn't give you what you deserved. I hope you've found peace now 

Dearest Maks,
I will absolutely never forget you. I remember the first time I met you I thought you were the coolest person ever. it was like an instant match. we did so much together, we talked for so long and I always felt so incredibly comfortable around you. You've told me so much and I wish I could remember everything. You were the only person that I could tell everything to and somehow you would always understand. I will never forget your enthusiasm, your deep kindness to everyone, your beautiful laugh, the way you blinked your eyes a little harder when you smiled. the way you were constantly moving, even when we hug, you'd bounce a little. I will hold all the memories with you close to my heart.
Maks I love you so much and I wish I told you that more.
I hope wherever you are, you're enjoying it.

Dear Maks,

As we worked together on a project, I got to know you better and I discovered what a warm, kind person you were. I loved your passion for Astrology and your enthusiasm when talking about things you loved. I am so sorry you had to go through such a rough period by yourself. I hope you have found your peace. Rest peacefully. I hope you know how much everyone loved and appreciated you. We will miss you deeply, 

Dear Maks,

I remember you as such a kind, warm and caring person. I am sorry that life did not give you all you deserved.
You will have a place in all of our hearts.

Dear Maks,
even though I only met you twice, I still remember your vibrant energy and smile vividly.
I am sorry that the world failed you in so many ways that you felt like this was the only way out.
Thank you for letting me be part of your life, even if only for a fleeting moment.
I hope you are in a better place now. Rest well. 

Maks, I hope you found the peace that you always deserved and are surrounded by love and wonderful things.

From our first interaction in the breakout room we immediately clicked as we had a few unexpected things in common. Because of the great first impression I got, I was really looking forward to getting to know you better. You were unique, genuine and easy to talk to. I wish we had more time.

You will be missed deeply. Sending lots of love and strength to your family and close friends in these difficult times 

Dear Maks,

Eventhough we didn't really get to know each other well, you have made a lasting impression on me.
You were a person that made me feel immediately comfortable, and I wish I could have done the same for you.

You're a beautiful soul that I hope is at peace now. 

Dear Maks,
I never got the chance to fully get to know you, however the commission I made for you will have a special place in my heart. I'm so happy I got to deliver it to you in person. The way you pulled me off the crosswalk when I didn't notice the car coming and now I wish I could've done the same for you. I remember how we were planning to meet soon after, yet this moment never came. I hope you're at peace, thank you for the short while we had together.
You were so loved, I wish you saw it.

Dear Maks,
You were genuinly a beautiful soul. I remember when I called you over to Pola's house, you thanked me and told me how much it meant to you; I thought it was a very sweet thing of you to express. When I met you I was taken aback from how utterly and beautifully you were yourself. I remember I was so excited to meet you again that night at Lili's, but unfortunately it got cancelled, and I never got to say goodbye. So goodbye Maks, I hope that your soul is at peace, and I am sorry that you went through this alone. I am greatful to have been in the first ever couch picture at Pola's with you and Alisha, your presence will be forever remembered by the memory. My prayers are with you and your family. If there is one thing I learned from you, be fearless and unapologetically yourself.

Love,
Nandinee - the scorpio, your favorite. 

Dear Maks,

You filled the space with joy and excitement, and always acknowledged everyone and treated them with pure kindness. I didn't get the chance to see you many times but after the first night, you were one of the people I told about to my friends back home, telling them about the great energy you brought, how you made everyone feel included and how excited you got about astrology, never forgetting a birthday. Everyone who knew you is beyond lucky to have had the chance to meet such a sweet individual and I am so, so grateful.
Hope you find your peace. 

Dear Maks,

It was such a pleasure to have you in our tutorial, you were a sometimes quiet, yet very present, loving zodiac professional and from the beginning I knew I would like you. You always asked me how I was doing and you came to me for advice, I always loved getting texts from you because I knew they would be interesting and extra.


I remember you asked me something on whatsapp during the tutorial, I answered your text and then you told me: ‘Im smiling at you’. Through Zoom you gave me such a warm moment. You were such a warm and caring person.
I hope you are at peace, in a better place.
All my love, Nora 

Dear Maks,

I met you on my birthday, which happened to be our first day of on-campus education. As my birthday was during the pandemic, I was not planning on celebrating it. In an attempt to get to know our fellow students we decided, together with three others, to go grab a coffee. That coffee was at the same time one of the best birthdays I ever had and I sincerely thank you for being there with me. You were doing zodiac readings for us, but as I did not have all my birth details we had postponed mine.

Likewise, on your birthday, I celebrated it over social media because I was not physically with you. You responded with the most wholesome "omg thank you Tutku" ever and I kept wondering what I did to deserve such a wholesome response from you.

I remember you private messaging me for help regarding a topic from Brain & Cognition. I helped you then, and please know that I would have happily helped you with anything else too.

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic I did not get to have many other memories with you, but I very much enjoyed the ones I do have. Please know that you are loved and missed by your loved ones. I am very sorry things progressed the way they did, but I hope you have found your peace now.

Yours sincerely,
Tutku 

Dear Maks,

When I met you, it took me no time to realize how pure you were. Although the times I saw you were limited, I remember you clearly. From the beginning, you were super nice to me and wherever you went, you took with you a sentiment of love and support.

The empathy and support you had while listening to- and helping others was touching. You never judged anyone, and had a special way of making everyone in the room feel loved and comfortable.

I’m so sorry for what you must have went through, and I hope you rest peacefully. 

Dearest Maksym, I am so sorry that your troubles got the better of you. You will be dearly missed by all your loved ones, friends and family. I hope you can now rest in peace and tranquillity. 

Dear Maks,
I met you in Sarphatipark last summer and ever since then you’ve been one of my best friends. I’ll never forget how you remembered my exact birth time after you helped me find out what my birth chart was 5 minutes after meeting me.
That was only the start of an endless stream of sleepless nights and amazing experiences.
You told me how excited you were to explore yourself and Amsterdam once we could go out again, we had so many plans. On my birthday you sent me the sweetest message i’ve ever gotten. It made me cry then and it still makes me cry now.
The last time I saw you left me looking forward to years of going to parties and bonding together with you and I’m so sorry that you couldn’t find your peace here. I’m greatful for the time I got to spend with you and I hope you have found your peace now.
I love you Maks.
