So we settle in side by side on our blanket, wrapped in warmth and love, and begin our anniversary dinner beneath the stars.
REMI
I grew up knowing that everything can be taken from you in the blink of an eye.
For a long time, I believed that awareness was my greatest weakness, a shadow cast over every moment of joy.
And perhaps, at times, it was.
But now, I see it differently.
That fragile truth has become my quiet strength.
Living with the constant awareness of how delicate and fleeting life truly is has left a permanent ache in me,
a sense of impermanence that never fully disappears.
It can be unsettling. Disorienting, even.
But it’s also what gave me the courage to choose boldly, to leap, even when I wasn’t sure where I’d land, because the one risk I could never bear was letting the chance to be truly, utterly happy pass me by.
And now, Sebastian and I are happy.
Deeply, breathtakingly happy.
Entangled
