Dear love,

I know my last few articles have been about you, and about us. I just want to remind you that I love you, and putting our relationship out for the world to read helps me become more confident. I love you so much, and I know this 120 or so miles between us has been quite a strain.

I wanted to remind you about all the little things we have been through. All the tears, and all the giggles.

So we started out talking on tinder, we just happen to match and I sent you a simple “hey.” After that we went to have a Starbucks date at the Starbucks across from south station. From there, we went on to have a snuggle night watching Grey’s Anatomy, and the night you accidentally put three patties on your hamburger from Five Guys. We walked from the silver line to the lawn on D and sat on colorful giant Cheerios.

We have a bond that is unbreakble.

We went on to have a night where we laid in bed sick as can be. We took the commuter rail to Providence just to go shopping. We’ve driven to Gray, Maine, just to see a moose, (which was pretty flipping amazing) We drove to the beach, and walked around (but I got too cold so we had to go back). We’ve driven to New York to go get bagels (carb Cheerios) off conveyor belts, and you learned how to put air in a tire.

I just want you to know that you’re pretty amazing. You’ve supported me from day one, and I’m so greatful for that. When I told you I was having surgery, you were determined to be there. On the day of surgery, you were so strong for me even though I was so nervous, and anxious.

So I’ll keep this short, but I just want you to know, but you’re pretty amazing and you always have a way to calm my anxiety. You always keep me on my toes, and giggling more than I ever thought possible. Thank you for being my person, even if my life is a crazy train wreck.

Love,

Your anxious girlfriend
