And we can laugh at them, because we should. This whole thing is meant to be enjoyed.

Today marks the anniversary of a choice but we prove it on the others. And you’ve proven to me that I made the right one.

Happy Anniversary, Kayla.

From the start, to now, and for forever—I love you.

But when I ask about your day, it’s not out of habit. When I make a choice, I know it’s not just mine. Because marriage also isn’t that hard if you just take the time.

And we can look back at our choices, knowing they’re ours. We can look back at the decisions we’ve made.

Marriage is work. But the paycheck is so much more rewarding than a transaction in a bank. And partnership comes at the personal cost of caring.

So here we are now, still at the start of our story, even if we aren’t who we were. And we still have no idea what’s coming.

⬇️

Because eventually if you learn about somebody’s day enough, you start to know how their tomorrow will be. And instead of asking out of curiosity, you ask out of habit. Or you don’t ask.

When you see somebody for so long, sometimes you forget to see them at all.

⬇️

And that’s why so many of them don’t work. In the moment we’re supposed to become one, we once again just become… one. But not a collective, just singular form.

See, marriage is routine. It’s patterns you’ve seen, conversations you’ve had, and you’ll have them again.

It wasn’t that long ago, but it was.
I don’t think we’re that different, but we are.

And not just in titles, not just in name. Though energy levels sure changed.

Those look mighty tasty.

Elite joke

Hahaha that’s perfectly fair. I was forced to root for the Mavs for two years. That was enough, and now that I’m not on their payroll, I can be my true self 😂
