“When I met my, now, husband, I was in a relationship that had slowly fizzled out. University had changed us and we weren’t compatible anymore. I met my husband whilst shopping for walking sandals for a holiday. He was working in the outdoor store at the time. He helped me find the sandals. As soon as I saw him the world stopped. It was like looking into the future. We laughed and joked and then he asked for my number. I was feeling guilty, but excited and nervous. Then ensued feelings of loss and more guilt for falling for someone else. Things came to an end with the boyfriend which was sad and scary because change is scary! Then I started dating my husband. It was a rollercoaster of fear of something new, adventure, excitement, giggling, discovery, love and belonging. He is the best person in the world and the other half of me.”

“One day, my thermometer at work said 42C outside. Overwhelmed, drained, happy, brain fog, sweat, tired, out of place, entertained, patient, love.”
