Everything they say is true
I feel rested. We feel relaxed.
The era of desperate conversations is over.
The urgency in being understood !RIGHT NOW! over lines and wires is over.
We are not talking against each other or being confused by words anymore.
There is such a relief in being a unit again.
Much more than we were two years ago.
For then, we were struggling student cum struggling interns cum so much more.
We were struggling to find our place at work, find our place at school and just trying to make it.
And now we are just an us:
an us that goes shopping for groceries, that mulls over what to cook for the evening, that takes evening walks and drives & so much more silly mundane stuff.
There is so much unbridled joy in finally getting what you dreamed off for so long.
I know that there could be a million and one things that could make this present situation more ideal - my future job having the same kind of kick-ass peeps, having my family here, having all my friends move to sunnystate, the boy & I understanding each other per-fectly the first time over & oh, my mind come up with so much more.
BUT, and this is such a big important BUT, the things that made me desperate with anxiety when I was alone in smalltownamerica seem less intractable and inconsequential now.
We have had mini-discussions and mini-tiffs since reaching here. But they all don't seem so 'make-or-break' anymore.
They are now what they always were - normal, everyday, manageable occurrences
for really,
nobody thinks of breaking up or calling off or cheating just because they have an argument over including registry cards in invites.

A) You don't have to ask me to move to sunnystate - already here.
B) Tiffs aren't so make-or-break when you can look in the other's eyes and still see love there. Tough to do over the phone.
C) So happy you've finally come "home"!
