Valentines Dream
This blog is meant to be a record of our adventures together. Some of them feel like individual stories, and some of them blur into one long, ongoing journey. Being with Poppy has already become the biggest adventure of my life.
We just celebrated our three month monthiversary. It feels wild to say that out loud. Three months somehow feels both brand new and like we’ve always known each other. Life honestly feels like it started again the day I met her.
She is my best friend in the truest sense. We are deeply romantic partners, completely drawn to each other, and somehow also feel like teammates who have known each other forever. There’s this balance between strong masculine and feminine energy, and at the same time we laugh like siblings and are truly best friends.
Whenever something happens when I’m away from her, my first instinct is to tell her about it. Even small things. Especially small things. When we are apart, I catch myself constantly wondering what she’s doing or how she’s feeling, and imagining whatever adventure we’ll be on next.
Soon we’ll be stepping into a new chapter together and building a shared home. The truth is, Poppy is home to me. The idea of creating a space that reflects our shared energy, our creativity, and the strange little magic we seem to make together feels incredibly exciting and deeply correct.
At the same time, I keep trying to slow down and stay present with where we are right now. Every moment together feels important. Every challenge we figure out side by side feels like a gift. Her dreams are mine now, and my future plans feel like they belong to both of us.
Sometimes I’ll just be in the middle of an ordinary day and it hits me all at once that I’m not going to face life alone anymore. I’ll pause and just sit with that feeling for a minute. And every time I feel it, I know she feels it too.
One of the most unexpected gifts she’s brought into my life is creativity. I thought parts of my filmmaking and production life were behind me, but she has inspired me to come back to it with fresh energy. She’s encouraged me to sing again, simply by listening and receiving my voice in such an honest way. And now she’s even inspired me to write again through this blog.
Her love has this quiet power to it. Just being around her makes me want to become a better version of myself.
I honestly have no idea what adventures are waiting for us next. I can imagine long rides, creative projects, travel, and whatever challenges come our way. The future feels wide open when I think about us together.
Happy Valentine’s Day to my sexy, beautiful, powerful Poppy.
Let’s go keep building this wonderful life together.
