An appreciation post for my favourite human in this universe and… the others too.
I’m convinced God gave you extra patience because wow.. everyday…you deal with my “ if I was a worm, would you still..” ass and somehow still make me feel like the most beautiful and special girl in the world. You make all my feelings always feel so heard and seen. No matter how crazy.. and let me tell you… it gets crazy.
I was always told love is hard
that it’s sacrifice, struggle, constant work
And then I met you
and you proved all of that wrong.
Because this
this is easy.
Not careless, not effortless, but natural.
Like loving you is the simplest thing I’ve ever known how to do.
I don’t know where I’d be without you or who I’d be
and honestly… I don’t think I care to find out.
Because a world without you doesn’t feel like one I belong in.
We haven’t gone more than two days without being side by side
and somehow I still fall more in love with you every single day.
It’s in the every single moment of each day..
waking up and seeing you next to me
realising life is still beautiful, still full of purpose, still worth it.
And every night I get to fall asleep next to you again
grateful for this life, this love
and the chance to do it all over tomorrow.
You’ve brought me closer to myself… closer to God
I love you
badly
deeply
a little obsessively if we’re being honest
and I’m not even sorry about it
