Got new nail polish for my wife for autumn and she was so excited to paint her nails she totally forgot she needed to shower.

Cut to Me, in just my boxers, standing in the shower but outside the spray of water. There's a very beautiful silly woman in front of me, standing buck naked with her hands held over her head (away from the water). I wash her hair, scrub her down, do her skincare routine, protect her eyes from shampoo as I rinse it out, massage in her conditioner, rinse off her body, massage in her body oil, tilt her head back to rinse the conditioner. I hop out to grab a big fluffy white towel then come back to pat her dry. I carefully help her into her robe and then put her fancy moisturizer on her face.

And its only now, as she flosses her teeth with her "wet nails" that I remember the nail polish I bought her is that insta-dry stuff that dries completely in under 2 minutes

Relationships are all about compromise and communication. If you want different things but refuse to talk about it, you’re far more likely to get stuck in a situation where you’re both unhappy. Be vulnerable with each other, be honest about what you want for yourself, and seek an answer where you’ll both be better off. This won’t always be a desirable process or have an ideal answer, but it is always better to try than automatically give in to the idea that it’s impossible.

being a person is so weird bc i’ll be like “i wish my brain was kinder to me esp when i’m already having a hard time,” and then i remember that i’m my brain and i have to be kinder to me and that nobody else will do it for me

A reminder for my ladies: EVERYTHING TAKES TIME. YEARS. So start right now with the little that you have and stay consistent. Drink a glass of water instead of soda this time. Do one workout. Take a walk. Take up a class. Read a book. Start the treatment. Learn that language. And try that EVERY SINGLE DAY. A little bit every day, but I tell you something, you will see the results in YEARS. Yes, you will get that degree AFTER A FEW YEARS. Yes, your hair will grow long, AFTER A FEW YEARS. Yes, you will be in shape, you will become who you want, you will heal, you will speak that language fluently AFTER A FEW YEARS.

Just keep doing what you're doing and don't give up. Ok? Ok. Love you, bye bye 💌
