The Wild Colours of Us

We live and love in wild colours,
no half-measures, no pale imitations.
Passion isn't gentle here, it's a full blaze,
the kind that warms and sometimes scorches.

We are friction and laughter intertwined,
learning through the sparks we strike,
expanding in the space where chaos
kisses calm and neither wins.

You are a force I cannot tame,
nor would I want to!
and learning to let you burn bright
whilst keeping my own roots deep
is its own exquisite work.

We move differently, you and I,
but the push between us is not division,
it's the call to stretch, to rise,
to meet each other, changed.

I'm grateful for the whole of it,
the beauty and the mess, 
the fire and the play,
the way we always, somehow,
find our way back home to love.

We're learning new love languages,
softer words for harder moments,
tools to hold each other through the heat,
to listen deeper, stay longer,
to choose each other, again and again.

And I'm proud of that.
Proud of how we keep showing up,
how we meet in the wild middle
and refuse to let go of each other ❤️

Nearly one year on...

A year ago, I wasn't looking. Wasn't interested. Had no intention of letting anyone in. Funny how life works, isn't it?
Then the universe decided to prove me spectacularly wrong.
Sometimes the best things in life are the ones we never see coming. The unexpected plot twists that completely rewrite our story. The people who show up when we least expect it and somehow become everything we didn't know we needed.
We're not your conventional couple, and that's exactly how it should be. His weird matches my weird in ways I never knew were possible. We make perfect sense in our beautifully chaotic way.
Here's to the unexpected. To letting life surprise us. To finding someone whose brand of strange fits perfectly with yours. To saying "I wasn't looking" and then finding exactly what you didn't know you needed.
Life's funny like that. And I wouldn't change a single thing. 💛
