now, this isnât the type of thing i would normally post on tumblr, but today is very special, and i thought it would be sweet to immortalize the moment.Â
today is the eight year anniversary of the day i asked @pilotsight to be my girlfriend. itâs been eight very strong years together - not without their ups and downs, of course, no relationship is without those. but the most important part of getting the opportunity to love her and be loved in return for so very long, is that sheâs supported me through everything, even from 443.0 miles away. sheâs been there with me through moments that i canât even begin to delve into. things that i, in no way, would have been able to deal with alone. sheâs the optimism to my naturally pessimistic outlook on life and she makes me better.
we donât get to see each other in person very often. in fact, we havenât had one of our âsummer trips together for two weeksâ in a couple years, and while thatâs devastating for both of us, we know when that happens again? itâll be even more special. weâve kept this relationship as strong as ever from a distance for eight years and nothing in the world could ever hurt that. between photos sent, texting every minute of the day, spending our nights together on aim just talking about random shit, watching our favorite youtubers together, and playing games + mics at 5am... weâve been together, just in other ways.
while sheâs my girlfriend, sheâs also my best friend - sheâs always been my best friend, the most important part of my world, and the most important person in my life. iâm lucky to know her, even if we werenât dating, having her in my life has just made it better. having the opportunity to make her happy for the rest of our lives together? well, thatâs just an added bonus.Â
so, jessica, thank you. can you believe weâre this close to ten years? ten years of making you smile and protecting you from everything i possibly can. youâve been the best thing to ever happen to me - i, honestly, do not know what iâd do without you, and frankly, i hope i never have to find out. no, i know iâll never have to find out. thank you for loving me. thank you for allowing me to love you.Â
happy anniversary, you mean the world to me... i love you to the moon and back.
