I want a “just checking in” kind of love.

a “baby did you eat today?” kind of love.

a “you’re the first person I told” kind of love.

an “I gotta kiss you before you leave” kind of love

an “I love you” before we say bye kind of love.

an “I noticed that you need this so I got it for you” kind of love.

a “we’re not going to bed til we’ve made up” kind of love.

a wipe my tears away kind of love.

a nonstop joke fest until I smile again kind of love.

a goofy smile when I walk in the room kind of love.

a hold me until my panic attack passes kind of love.

a rub my back after work kind of love.

I just want to feel completely, totally, truly loved.

you are my miracle. my childhood hope. i prayed to have you. all those years. when others were breaking up and moving away, when brokenness was all anyone knew. i prayed that we would stay. i knew i wanted your heart. forever. but i wasn’t sure how to make forever in a world of finite. so i prayed and prayed and cried and yelled and wrote and asked. for you. 

it was hard. there were so many things that tried to stop us. so many people who said we couldn’t. so many life changes that begged for us to go separate ways. so many tears and hurt and times we could have walked.

but there was forgiveness. and we learned grace. we learned how to love deeper than finite. deeper than even forever. 

you stayed.

we stayed.

and our love is the sweetest symphony that sweeps life off its feet.

you are my miracle.

Did you know…

Candles on romantic dinner tables were traditionally used to prevent prospective lovers from leaning over to steal a kiss before they were married

If you want to kiss you must brave the FIRE

They were never going to change. You did the right thing.

It’s our 6 year wedding anniversary today (13 years total - yes, I made her wait 7 years). Lindy is putting Riley down for the night and I am giving Ashtyn a bath (while screaming Sublime lyrics). No fancy date this year. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m excited to binge watch Netflix and eat ice cream out of the carton with her tonight ❤

The feel of her head against his shoulder, of her familiar body, sent a shock of emotion over him. His arms holding her had a tendency to tighten around her.

legitimately cannot even believe this is a thing. how can people be so blatantly hateful and unloving towards others because of the color of their skin? HOW. what is happening to our country.

When y'all fake conversations in your heads do you sometimes say random sentences out loud too? I was just tying my shoes and said very sternly and loudly “I DO know how ants work, fucker”

one of the best tips for Real Life that I’ve ever picked up is to always highball your estimate whenever someone asks you “when can you get this done by” by about 25% (if you can get away with it). that way, if it ends up being harder than you thought, you’ve got extra time to figure things out and if you were right about how much time it takes then you get to look like an absolute genius instead of just a simply competent person.

what you may not have realized is that I learned this crucial piece of life advice from an episode of Star Trek where Scotty is telling Geordi that whenever he told Kirk something on the Enterprise was at full capacity, it was always only ever a notch or so below full capacity so that Scotty looked like the god of all engineers when he was able to magically hack the warp drive to run a little beyond what he’d told everyone else was “full capacity” and honestly that one throwaway gag from Star Trek has changed my life.

Earlier today, I reblogged this good post that talked about Jennifer Lawrence’s comment on how if you didn’t send your bf nudes, he’d look at porn, and how that was wrong of her to say. However, the really disappointing thing is that the notes are full of people talking about how it’s completely okay to look at porn, and if you’re upset about your boyfriend doing it, you’re being insecure. In the first place, these people totally missed the point of the original post. In the second, I am so fucking sick of women being called insecure or demanding just for having standards and demanding basic human decency in a relationship. Like, someone looking at porn is not only disrespectful to the relationship itself, but is also a wrong thing to do regardless of anything having to do with the relationship. And I refuse to be involved with people who exhibit that kind of exploitative behavior. And finally, asking someone to be in a relationship where they don’t look at porn or receive nudes is not something crazy or unreasonable. We’ve already established that watching porn is wrong, and not sending nudes is a 100% reasonable boundary. You don’t need either of those things. They are not a right. And all of y’all also need to get some damn standards.
