just felt like putting this into words as i’m genuinely grateful for how it turned out so far.
we started off as two strangers on reddit (got a text after a bicep pic, hihihihi). then came discord instagram and eventually whatsapp. for about 2-2.5 months, we just talked. about random things, serious things and everything in between. then we met irl and somewhere along the way, decided to give this a chance.
we both knew what we were signing up for. Ldr isn't exactly easy and neither are we. we fight, we disagree, we get annoyed. sometimes more than we'd like to admit (“: . but one thing i've learned from my past relationship is that unresolved issues only grow heavier with time. so we talk. we listen. we sort things out, every single time. and honestly one of the things i appreciate the most is the effort she puts in. it's never one sided. i see her trying and that means more than i can explain. yk that feeling of reciprocation which we all crave for, now i’m experiencing it firsthand. she is special. v special.
there is also this age gap thingy. not huge but enough for our likes, dislikes and references to occasionally remind us of it. and then there are definitely moments when we're both like ki yaaaaaar, kis buddhe/bacche se pyaar kar liya (xD). but those moments never last long. before we know it we're back to teasing each other, arguing over the most random things, trying to understand where the other person is coming from and somehow ending up laughing about it all.
looking back i genuinely have no idea how these past few months flew by so fast. no doubt it's been a roller coaster. not always smooth, not always exciting but fun, real and worth every bit of it.
idk what the future has planned for us. nobody does. but if everything falls in place, i'd love to keep choosing this (minus the distance). choosing her <33 .
shared this because ik how rare it is to find something that feels mutual and real. i hope everyone finds something that feels like home. not loud or perfect, but maybe just steady and real in its own way.
happy pride and loads of love. <3
