the a-team

My wife and I are very different.
but in a good ways.

She thinks ahead, I think in the present.
sometimes this can lead to each other feeling unappreciated.

but when I think about it, I wouldn't want it any other way.
I feel secure and safe, knowing my wife is already growing a retirement fund at the age of 23, is saving for a house, car and other future payments. She encouraged me to go back to school and try to find a better job.

sometimes it's difficult to fully grasp the kind of love she shows me, but I will try.

you're the best

vcr

this semester at school  has been the most difficult so far.
every day I feel exhausted and drained.

please summer, come faster.


dear school,
I've never really liked you.
yet I feel as though I've spent more time with you than anyone else in my life.
why must you be so terrible?
and expensive?

safe

a bad day turned good.

today just wasn't that great.
I went to court, was found guilty, paid a fine.
didn't eat anything all day.
homework has been pilling up.
exams and projects due.
car is in the body shop.

I don't remember being this stressed out in a long time.
I felt like I wanted to break something.
Or that my head was just going to pop off from all the pressure.

then my wife saved me.

to my wife:
I love you.
you fill the world with joy and adventure.
you make me feel safe.
you make me want to be better.
it makes me smile thinking of our possible future together.

p.s. let's go on a date sometime soon.


have a nice day.
