On A Late December Day

12/29/2017 - 

Seven years and here we are. 

Today signifies growth; at times painful, awkward, yet all beautiful.

Today signifies our devotion. Our unity. To each other and, as importantly, to our individual selves that we refuse to lose sight of.

I'd say that is one of the many things that I appreciate about you most. The way you encourage me to do and be whatever and whoever it is that I deem.  

You grant me so much liberty to evolve and contradict myself as many times as this life enables me to without any judgment.

You never constrain me.

You love me enough to let me be and to let me wander, because you know it always leads me back to you. 

I looked in the mirror today and the reflection of my 14-year-old self shows face, and she holds this "I knew it" grin that transcends through my being right now.   

I am grinning and I am whole. 

And on this day, this living memorable day,  I cannot recall a single moment my heart did not belong to you. 

So nevermind seven, ten or thirty years. You've already given me an infinite number of moments coated with so much meaning. 

You give me meaning. And I vow to never lose sight of that. 

Thank you universe, God and whatever almighty presence, for this love.
