You know when you’ve been searching for this thing that’s supposed to sweep you off your feet and make you happy for the rest of your life? I found it. Yeah, it turned out to be me.

I know this sounds crazy, but I ran into my own arms last year. I married myself in 2020. I’ve never been happier.

“And she lived happily ever after with a bucket of fries and her cat.”

That’s what marriage means to me. Being content with the person inside you. When your soul belongs to the universe, and you have the freedom to share it however you like.
