Today marks our 15th year of choosing to be together. 15 years of being baduy together. 15 years of facing everything together.
And 15 year of Pamilya Egg! It kinda blows the mind how Nico has been our number one supporter since Day One.
It still scares me a bit how in tune we are with one another. There's the cliche about being able to finish one another's sentences, and we've always had that. But our degree of connection has always involved a deeply intuitive understanding of what the other was thinking or feeling at any given moment. It's a strange emotional candor that we've never been able to turn off and over the years we've just learned to lean in and work with it.
We're still very different people - discrete individuals. While we share a lot of the same hobbies, we still have some very distinct interests that we've learned to just support one another with. But despite that, I have never felt more in sync with anyone else in the way I do with Tobie and it's a truly special feeling. It still has its scary moments when things get intense, but on the whole, it has remained to be one of the strongest reminders that we should be together.
In the end, we are together because we choose one another - that commitment remains. But at the same time, being together also just makes sense on so many levels it can feel a little crazy at times. But that's how we are and who we are as a couple, I guess. We're two unique people who took a while to find each other, but once we did we knew we could never let go.
I love you, Tobie. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for understanding me. Thank you for continuing to make every day memorable and special. I'm excited for all the new adventures we're still going to embark on in the many years to come.
