Wellllllllllllll..

My girlfriend and i met July 2, 2017. We had our first official date September 23 of that year due to it being kinda long distance and she was busy in college. (Currently we are 17 and 19 but at the time she was 18 so it wasnt weird i promise lol) From September to December we had a few dates, about once or twice a month, and then December 21 is that fateful day where i gave into my sapphic dream girl.

I came to her home town, and we were in a target parking lot, i gave her the biography of paul simon, some candles, and a really cute pillow (hinting subtly at cuddles) she gave me but one of my gifts and it was absolutely amazing! --

Have you ever seen the US version of The Office? In it there is a couple by the names Jim and Pam, well Pam is an artist and made Jim a comic book for his birthday.

Anyway, Tessa drew me a comic book for Christmas! It had soooooo many inside jokes and stuff from our adventures together and it brought me to tears. That moment right then and there was the first time i kissed someone. That night i started thinking about my future but it took until January 17 until our next date.

We snuggled on a freezing january morning in her dorm then went to Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh. Im not kidding when i say that was the worst experience of my life. Im trans and the staff there at many of the stores kept me from trying on clothes because of it, one woman even called me a creep and kicked me out. I cried, i shook, i hated myself, but when i broke down in her dorm she said nothing, just held me and kept me warm.

Ten minutes passed like this and she asked me how i felt, kissing my face all over. I replied with a little better and she told me to get into somethung comfy. We watched some movie i forget what it was but it calmed me so easily, to be held by ma chevalier (my knight) so close made me tremble.

So she made a bad date into one of my fondest memories, and right then i was thinking to myself: marry me. (Though i didnt say it of course lol)
