Hi Amanda

I made this because some memories feel too important to leave in my head.
I wanted them to have a place to live.
Take your time.

NYC

New York was crowded, chaotic, and exhausting.
But every time I looked over and saw you next to me, it felt worth it.
The walking, the noise, the late nights, the little moments in between.
Being there with you is what made it special.
It’s one of those memories I replay when I miss you.

Everyday With You

These weren’t big moments or highlights.
Just random days, random places, random memories.
But somehow they ended up meaning more to me than I expected.
I really loved being there with you.

I’m not always great at expressing things in real time.So a lot of what I feel stays in my head.But the truth is, being with you feels easy.I feel grounded.I feel understood without having to explain myself.That matters more to me than I usually let on.You make space for me to just exist, and I don’t think you realize how much I need that.I don’t feel judged or rushed around you.I feel accepted as I am.That’s not something I find easily.I notice how you show up, even on days you don’t feel like you’re doing much.I notice how you care without making it a big thing.I notice how being around you makes everything feel quieter.I don’t always know how to put that into words.But it means a lot to me.

I don’t know exactly what the future looks like.I’m okay with that.What I do know is that I like the direction things feel like they’re moving when you’re around.I like the idea of more moments like the ones we already have.More random days.
More trips that don’t need a reason.
More time together without rushing it.
I don’t feel the need to figure everything out right now.I just know I want to keep choosing you as things unfold.Merry Christmas Amanda,
I hope this lets you feel, even for a moment, how important you truly are to me.
