we both know that being engaged has been one of the most exhausting parts of our relationship. it hasn’t been dizzingly blissful. it hasn’t been entirely happy. and it hasn’t been anything like I’d expected. our hands are calloused and our hearts are hard.
but I promise you, I will pick at my brain until only the good pieces blow like free debris through me.
