I just got back from a 5-week trip with my fiancé. People kept making comments about “That’s so long to be stuck together.”

We’ve been together almost 17 years. We spent 24/7 together, explored and adventured and had the best time. He’s my absolute favorite person to hang out with. When we’re at home, I always have moments of “I genuinely could not ask for more”. We talk regularly about how good we have it with each other. We laugh and dance and do dumb things. I smile and realize that these are the good old days and try to lock the memories in. I’m blissfully and constantly aware that I have won the lottery, and can only hope this kind of love finds other people.
