For you.
From me.
Across the world.
Valentines day reminded me that distance hasn't changed what I feel.
It's only made it clearer.
Our Story
I wasn't looking for love when we met.
Not even a little bit. I was firmly in my "I need to find my peace and I don't need nobody" era - I definitely wasn't planning on falling madly in love with you.
Then there you were.
It felt like one of those moments where nothing dramatic happens(only our conversations), but something shifts anyway.
A conversation that was easy from the start, the love story that started on hinge..cringe.
Messages that didn't feel forced. A sense that i wanted to keep replying - even when i told myself I wasn't here for that, keeping you on your toes by cancelling our first date.. yikes.
Somehow, the timing worked. The stars definitely had to align quietly, without making a big deal about it. And before I knew it curiosity turned into excitement, and excitement turned into something that felt a lot like home.
This photo was the first one we ever took together. Before distance, before time zones, before learning how to love each other through screens and voice notes. Just us, at the very beginning, not actually knowing how important this moment would become.
Looking back, it makes me smile. Because I wasn't searching for you at all.
And somehow found my soulmate anyway - someone who completely gets me.
I'd choose that beginning every-time, for you.
