we’re both people who default to routines and being at home, so without conscious effort we won’t venture out of our comfort zones. celebrating our monthly anniversary is a ritual that attempts to take us out of that familiar zone, and in that process we get to know our selves and each other more as we discover new places and have new experiences. she likes to sew couple clothes for us — to document her beautiful work we take photos. i don’t enjoy taking photos but for her i become a willing albeit grumpy model. it require a little of a playful spirit, which i severely lack. still, i try. because i look at her and see love, the world, and my self.
recently we discovered we may be both on the spectrum so it has been interesting how after 97 months together we begin to learn how to make accommodations for the other, things that were formerly annoying is now compassionately understood. because we keep making new journeys inwards and outwards, both together and individually, even till now we are still discovering new ways to love each other.
