How it (re)started 🤭
I said re started cause we've had a quite rocky start lol. While making this, I realized we've had 2 restarts lol. First on Feb 28, after a 2 year hiatus, then April 8th, after le fameu "breakup"
I'll never forget how well you listened to me that night, made me feel heard and understood. On top of that you did amazing with communicating where you were coming from. I was so impressed by your emotional intelligence that night. It made me feel safe enough to open up again. From there, we just kept building.
Our first real fight
Our first real fight came from things I hadn’t said out loud soon enough. Je comprenais pas pq t'avais 15000 copines mdrrr, and you were trying to help me see how meaningful and platonic those bonds were. Through it, we both learned, about boundaries, about communication, and about each other. It taught me not to bottle things up, and it taught us how to "fight" with more care, honesty, and understanding.
First date
You picked the perfect place, music was low, lumiere tamisees, vraiment lepp niceee. L'episode avec Stevens, etait hilarent in retrospect, mais aussi vraiment eye opening. I loved the way you handle that. I loved how you were so understanding back at the hotel, I felt so much closer to you after that night.
Such a fun night 💘
Meeting Rokhaya
I was so happy when you finally "met". Mes deux vies haha. En plus you instantly liked each other, it felt very validating, and nicee. All her "fears" went away when she spoke to you, just like me, encore une autre confirmation.
My worlds colliding 🤍
Your favorite memory of us
I wanted to include this because you mentioned on the phone that your favorite memory was that walk from your house to the mall and back. I remember it feeling so peaceful, and on the way home, under those string lights, I felt like I was part of your world.
How I felft after we finally met
After five months together and finally meeting you in person, the time we spent together couldn’t have gone better. I didn’t know I could love someone this much. Loving you spills into every part of my life. It makes me a better friend, daughter, sister, and person overall. It even brings me closer to Allah. Caring so deeply about you and our future pushes me to pray more and to seek guidance and protection for us. It also pushes me to grow into the best version of myself in my faith, my discipline, and the way I carry myself. Seeing you for the first time felt like a confirmation. I realized how natural it feels to be by your side. There was no doubt and no questioning, only comfort, ease, and certainty. This weekend brought us closer in a way I didn’t know was possible. You are so kind, patient, attentive, respectful, gentle, protective, and loving.
I will always cherish that weekend 🥹

Just for fun. Try any names 😌
Back to long distance
Honestly, it felt really, really hard at first. I kept thinking to myself how am I going to make it until January? But with time it did become a little bit easier. I also did have a lot of ups and downs after we saw each other. And you were very very present for me very supportive and I will always be grateful. It made me know that I could truly rely on you. Genre vraiment t’es l’homme que tu penses être 🙂↕️

Finally seeing each other again
Honestly, seeing you again just felt like going home. Being with you last month felt so warm and cozy. We reached new levels of intimacy 🙃 which was quite nice lol. Je m’arrête là since there’s a cease and desist on anything intimacy 🤣
Our Favorite Day
January 18 was one of my favorite days ever!!! The brunch was so good. I loved watching the game with you, it was so funny, especially when you were acting crazy or when the service kept going in and out and you were so stressed out 😂😂😂😂 and then we became champions together!! What a great memory! And then later that night, I met Nedye Fatou <3 and you kind of "met" my brother, and yeah, it was just honestly very very nice and I genuinely was so happy to have met her and for some weird reason she also felt like home to me. So much so that I was emotional after meeting her. It was just the best day ever - even though you refused to share your pizza with me lolll
Little things I love about you
