1,461 days ago today I confessed my heart had spiralled into the most tenderly lulling yet thrilling love. Things never slowed down from there. I found my soul mate in a man who could turn my worst fears into dust, who kissed away every tear I shed, who shared the most fun moments with me and a man who completed me like a whimsy to a puzzle.
When you love, your head and heart agree on something for the first time. It spurs feelings one cannot even begin to describe, but you have comfort in knowing your partner feels exactly the same way too. It is magical, it makes you want to cry from happiness, it makes you lay awake at night and wonder where you went so right. Love is a lot of things from a warm morning hug before the day starts to overcoming a hurdle you both face. You become one of a team. When you can be your purest self around another human being without fear of them ever judging you, that is love.
4 years after confessing my love, I can say we have come down a long path, but have held one another every second of the way. Watching shooting stars in the long grasses in Australia to making a home in a Victorian house with creaky floorboards in London, we have come far. Waking up to see his baby blue eyes and feel his warm breath surrounding me are just some of the many reasons why I find myself so happy. And I couldn’t be prouder of Nathan and the way he has changed my entire view on the world. He has opened my eyes and turned me into a person I feel comfortable with, and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything he has done for me and us as a team. We’ll grow old together and our hair will turn grey and we’ll do sudoku puzzles on our kitchen table. I’m not afraid of anything knowing I can hold his hand. I love him more than words or actions could possibly show.
Today was magic through and through. Sleeping in the sun, picnic in a little rose garden, movie and the best, most beautiful quality time together. This is what life is all about, nothing else.
