Happy 29th, my sweetheart! I’m so happy that I get to be celebrating one month with someone as incredible as you! I know you’ve heard it over and over again from me, but you’ve made me - and continue to make me - feel deeply lucky. It’s not crazy, I think, to say the beginning of this relationship was not the ideal scenario either of us were thinking of. Still, this past month has easily been one of the happiest periods of my life in a long time, and it’s not hard to realize who’s making me feel this way. It’s a weird strand of happiness, though - it’s not a content happiness that I feel like I’ve usually felt. When I’m around you, I want to try harder than I ever have before, to push myself to not only be better at what I already do but to try new things and learn how to be passionate about them. It’s because of you that I’m trying to pick back up art, giving shows or artists or topics I wouldn’t give the light of day otherwise a chance, and finally getting around to interests I’ve had hibernating for a while, like writing (hopefully this is a solid first preview for you). I’m happy around you because I know I want to try when I’m with you. It’s a deeply rooted hope of mine that you feel the same. Getting to learn more about you just makes me fall more and more in love with you, and as the weeks continue to pass I want to never stop trying to be the best I can. I miss you everyday and every hour, and the longer I’m with you I think the worse it’s gonna get. Missing you this much just tells me the love I feel for you is real though, so it’s not all bad. I hope you enjoy today as much as I’m going to, my sweetheart. I love you, and I’m going to find every possible combination to say and show you I do!
