🍯☀️🌿 and🌱 for Alex, Irvin, Brooks, and Jim?

🍯: What do you think is the sweetest thing I've done for you? There are so many sweet things you've done, I've lost count!

Alex: Do you remember the first time you saw me on stage before we really got to know each other? I was so nervous and I stumbled over nearly every single line, but when I finally got through it, you smiled at me and clapped and told me I did really well when I sat back down. I think about that whenever I get nervous, and it makes it easier to get through <3

Irvin: Forgive me if this is a bit cliché, but I would have to say the very first time you felt comfortable holding my hand. I know that it isn’t necessarily something you’ve done for me, but it means the world to me all the same - I know how scared you were, acknowledging that the thing between us wasn’t just friendship; that moment solidifies the first time you felt safe recognizing that, and for me, that’s definitely the sweetest thing.

Brooks: Helping me come to terms with the fact that my former relationship wasn't healthy. It'd become so normal for me that I kind of stopped processing the events themselves when they occurred, and after my divorce when it all kind of just... hit me, you were there for me, and that means more to me than you'll ever know.

Jim: Honestly? Confronting me about my drinking problem, because I know that you did it because you cared about me. I know that those first few months of being sober were pretty hellish and I could be mean when withdrawal hit, but you never gave up on me or turned away, and if it weren’t for you, I don’t even think I would have acknowledged I had a problem.

☀️: What is your favourite thing about our special, intricate love?

Alex: The fact that we can tell each other anything, and know that the other person will always be there to listen. There are things I can only really trust you with, and know it’s the same for you; communication is a key role in every healthy relationship, and I think we do pretty good on that front!

Irvin: The things we do for each other when one of us is struggling. You always know just when to bring me a cup of coffee and to remind me to take a break, and I know when all you want is to be held close for a while, even if it’s without any words. There’s just a certain degree of intimacy to those things.

Brooks: How well we've gotten to know each other. You can always tell if I've had a bad day or when something's just messing with my head, and I can do the same. I love that we're open with each other about our feelings, but I also love the fact that we can often tell how the other is feeling, more often that not, and sometimes even without words.

Jim: The way we help each other work through things, even if one of us doesn’t know exactly what it’s like or how the other is feeling. We’re always there to listen to each other when we need it, and we don’t have to worry about judgement or that we’re bothering the other person with our issues, because we we work together.

🌿: What is your favourite way that our relationship has grown?

Alex: The honesty we're able to share! Neither of us has ever had a reason to lie to each other, and we don't keep things from each other, either. It's refreshing to know that we don't need to hide our feelings or thoughts from one another.

Irvin: The trust you've been able to place in me. I know that given our... circumstances, it was something that took quite a while for you to develop, and I am more grateful for that than I have the words to express. Conversely, I know that I can trust you as well, and that means everything to me.

Brooks: How secure and safe we feel with each other. We both know that no matter what happens, we're going to be there for one another, and we can shoulder whatever comes together - and we both know that there's always support when it's needed.

Jim: How comfortable we are around one another. Even though we didn’t get together until the divorce was being finalized, I know things between us were tense for that little while because of the town’s opinion of me - and, unfortunately, their opinion of you by proxy (which I’m still sorry about), but we pulled through, and now it’s like we’ve never been apart.

🌱: What is your favourite way that I've grown for you?

Alex: How much more confident you are when you speak up about the things that you’re passionate about, especially when it’s something you feel for strongly - whether that’s calling out someone’s behaviour, standing up for yourself, or even sometimes standing up for me! I know you used to feel like people saw you as... for lack of a better word, a doormat, but I can’t see that - you’re not afraid to speak up when you’re upset, and I admire that.

Irvin: The fact that you feel safe with me, because that's all I could ever want. Again, I know it was initially very hard for you to trust me and feel reassured that I'd never let anything happen to you, and I don't blame you for that, believe me - but I am so grateful that you have been able to place your trust in me and that you know I'll keep you safe. I appreciate that more than you know.

Brooks: I would have to say your confidence. I know how hard it was for you to feel comfortable after what happened with your ex, especially in a romantic context, and I'm so proud of the way you've worked through that and properly processed it. It wasn't an easy thing, but you were able to do it anyway, and I have so much respect for you.

Jim: The healing you’ve done as you’ve processed your trauma. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult that must have been for you, and I am so proud of you for having that strength, and for being able to talk about the things you’ve been through. I’m happy I’m able to share that success with you and that you feel comfortable sharing those things with me.
