We don’t need rose-colored glasses to see that our life is different. We’re not saying everything is perfect but we have reasons to believe it could be. They may not be our final anchor, but they’re someone we want to walk along with. To find someone who we share our passions, loves, and hopes with is a rare gift. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience the small or great pleasures in life.
Feelings, letters, keepsakes, memories, tastes, pictures, and recipes are the details that tell the stories of yesterday and give sense to our present life. These are adventures you need to live out when you’re with someone who is on the same path as you. And once the dreams are fulfilled, they leave an emotional and physical bond stronger than you believed possible.
