“our selfies are so boring! let’s take cool pictures like john lennon and yoko ono!” and thereafter she no longer looks at the camera lens…i love her because she’s always making me laugh like this with all her quirky thoughts and ideas, and that includes the way she sees and loves me. throughout all the peaks and the extreme lows she’s been there with me, not just when i’m at my best but consistently throughout my worsts. she doesn’t try to make me the person she projects me to be but instead she regularly encourages me to be who i truly am. if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? i had felt like there was no one around to hear me, so it is almost like i don’t really exist, but with her i feel like i am the tree and she is the forest: i exist, because she surrounds me. can’t believe we survived 95 months together just month by month counting like this.
