Hey y'all. J here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On December 4th, this stunning beauty turned 33. Today, I am more proud than ever to call her my partner. Whether I invite it, or whether she takes me kicking and screaming, she has cultivated a life and a family that daily makes me better. For myself and in turn, toward others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Inspired by the famous Socratic axiom, "An unexamined life is not worth living," we decide that every day, in mostly small and perhaps from the outside - innocuous or silly actions - we carve out this philosophy together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can't say exactly how I encourage this for her, but I can absolutely say how she does it for me: she reminds me, at times quite forcefully, to recall and value my talents and passions. While regarding the beautiful and albeit, unfair, span of a life - she demands I confront how best to spend my time, energy, creativity, and love. That if we are otherwise engaged, it better be for good reason. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I suspect, for her part, she does this for you as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As human beings, thank goodness, we are not static creatures. We write our stories, filling different parts under the same character title as it unfolds. Gathering depth, scars, wisdom, and perspective. A growing dissonance of sorrow, gratitude and wonderment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is where art lives. It's everything that makes life worth living. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Simply, she makes us all so very happy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If i've learned anything along this brief story of ours - the thing I'd love for you to take with you - it is this sentiment Ariel often references: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love is not a feeling, it is an ability. Grateful people are happy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, she is 33 and 6 days, and I am in love with who she is and the story she chooses to tell. With all its flaws and inconsistencies. All it's master craft and utter ineptitudes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because the best stories aren't the perfect ones. They are the ones written in earnest failure, punctuated by wondrous resolve, populated by flawed heroes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell her you love her. She loves you. More than you know.
