when i was into bicycles she would accompany me to see bicycles, she would even accompany me to computer malls in various cities around the world even though she has zero interest. i think the world is always trying to deaden us, so any attempt to nurture aliveness should be applauded. she, has brought more life to me than anyone or anything else; she, encouraged my adhd-switching of hobbies, never frustrated with me when I lose interest in things rapidly; she, who would cover my ears when planes go by because of my sensory difficulties; she, who goes anywhere i want to go – in return i have accompanied her to yarn shops, fabric markets, museums, art supply shops, nature walks…throughout the 111 months together she has also been changing like seasons. so today we spent the entire day looking at sewing machines, in between i get to get my daily dose of cafe hopping and matcha. i guess every month on this day we not only celebrate our love, but we celebrate what each other love as individuals too. in a world that is so numbing, isn’t it wonderful to love somebody, something, some time? i feel so lucky that we both have similar priorities in life, knowing that all else is just distraction and noise.
