I'm 24 and I've been with this wonderful woman for almost 10 years (it's my biggest life flex)
(One of our first ever photos together 😂)
We've been through school together
We've been through sixth form together
We've been through long distance in university
(I didn't go to uni as I wasn't clever enough 😅)
And then, after 8 years, we finally moved into our own apartment together
She supported me and stuck by my side through everything when I needed it the most while I was trying to figure out my life.
I certainly wouldn't have achieved anywhere near as much as I have today if I didn't have her pushing me, challenging me, and telling me I could be more.
And it's a pleasure to see her flourish into the amazing woman she's become. Here's to the next decade, my love ❤️
