Love is all about wanting what is best for the other person. Even if it breaks you apart, even if you don’t get recognized. Love is about caring and sharing the good and the bad, showing your true colors without being scared of judgment.

Rafael is my husband, but before that, we were high school sweethearts. Too shy and dumb to say anything to each other, and to even recognize we were in love at all. Years later we gave ourselves a shot, but with no luck and other things in our minds, we went separate ways once again.

The year was 2020, the pandemic was at its peak and discord was the only way to keep in touch, and amidst the chaos, we tried again.

Success!

I found myself spending time at his place more than my own, missing the little aspect of living together with his dumbass and shitty morning dances, missing fighting over bed space and lazy nights watching Ghibli movies.

Butterflies and sunny vibes were filling our days, I felt like the world could end at any moment and I’d still be happy, warm, and safe. Silly jokes filled the space between us while we made morning coffee, and talks about deep and controversial matters just because one of us was procrastinating something. I couldn’t be without it anymore.

We got married. That’s all we could ask for. Not because of the legal state, it was just a paper, but because we cherished each other.

I realized that love is all about wanting what is best for the other person without wanting anything in return. And even if it breaks you apart, you know your loved one will be there for you, giving you the love you need to heal. And even if you don’t feel recognized, you will feel secure about expressing your feelings, and both of you will try to find a way so the relationship doesn’t get heavy for anyone.

Love is about caring and sharing the good and the bad, showing your true colors without being scared of judgment, and most importantly growing together, learning to respect boundaries, and sensitive topics, and being responsible for what you bring to the relationship.

Everything needs maintenance, there is no such thing as the happy ever after of perfect couples. We can only accept and love each other for what we truly are, and that´s what we are learning to do together. Slowly learning how to deal with life ahead of us, helping each other thru life.

He is my sunny special boy and I love him.

This is a beautiful example of an email you can share with your loved one.
