Our Quiet Miracle

It is amazing how someone can walk into your life, and it feels like they have just turned on the light.

Seven years ago, on this day, I met Akin and wow, it has been a collection of moments, decisions, pauses, courage, and grace. These seven years have shown us laughter that surprised us, tears we did not expect, and strength we discovered only because we had to. When I look back at our journey, I do not see perfection but instead, I see intention. I see two people choosing to stay, to grow, and to believe.

Meeting You Changed My Rhythm

When we met, I did not know I was standing at the edge of something life-altering. What I felt was ease. A conversation that flowed without effort. A presence that made the world quieter, calmer, more focused. I did not know then that this would become my safe place, my laughter, my home.

What followed was not simple. Distance tested us, time zones stretched us.
Life demanded patience and yet somehow, instead of pulling apart, we leaned in.

Love That Teaches and Heals

This love has taught me things I never learned before, like love can be gentle without being weak. That commitment does not trap you but expands you. That being fully seen is not frightening when it comes with kindness.

We are still growing side by side, sometimes stumbling, sometimes soaring but we have learned when to speak, when to listen, and when silence is its own form of understanding. Through it all, this love have shown me what steady love looks like.

Our Story Continues

This anniversary is not just a celebration of time passed, but of all the tomorrows still waiting for us. More laughter. More lessons. More moments where the world fades away and it is just us, still talking, still dreaming.

Akin, happy seventh anniversary my love.
Thank you for walking this path with me, for choosing me as I choose you.
Always, and in all ways.
