thoughts for my fiance

I tend to write little notes to myself everywhere. I leave scribbles on papers around the house, on my phone, on various documents spread across folder on my computer. Previously, I would stumble upon these notes after months, but lately I have been looking at them more regularly and I really enjoy seeing these snippets of thoughts. Here are two small thoughts I found about my fiance that make me smile:

  1. “I’m happy right here, in this screened in porch with lights around the edges. They make me think of you, of us”
  2. “You see how much I am, and you don’t want me to diminish myself.”
