This man ๐ Happy belated 33rd birthday to my other whole, โจ @astronomer_ryan โจ. I wish everyone could get themselves a Ryan, because he's the most amazing partner I never knew existed before our paths crossed those years ago! ๐ฅฐ . In the beginning of dating, I knew he was different from every other dude because he was authentically himself. Ryan doesn't care about trying to impress others with empty talk, and he doesn't compare himself to others or worry about competing with people. He isn't afraid to show genuine emotions or communicate root causes of concerns. He is who he is, he likes doing what he likes doing and doesn't need excuses for that, and he doesn't feel the need to puff up his chest to prove himself. . I remember being so impressed (and I still am every day) because to me, he is such a man for being comfortable about himself and confident without needing to declare it loudly. I feel so lucky to have my other whole, we are such a great team together, and he is truly the best support system I never knew I needed. . Before Ryan, I never understood calling someone your rock, because I laid the foundation of who I am before being with anyone. However, now, I finally understand when Queen Elizabeth called Prince Philip her strength and stay, because I feel like Ryan has helped me grow through his unconditional love in wanting to see me succeed. Every time I look at him, that's what I think. Ryan is my rock and stay. . He doesn't try to change me, and anything he does is to help lift me up towards goals we now both share together. He sees my brain and heart and understands who I am on all facets, and he still loves me on my best and worst days. . I wish everyone could come home to someone so compassionate, so loving, so tolerant, so open-minded, and so brainy! ๐ . Happy birthday to my nerd! ๐๐๐ค Life shared with you is amplified fun. ๐ . P.S.
