∞ Written by the Universe ∞

We met when we were just kids, probably around nine years old, at summer camp. We were young, wild, and carefree, but something about that summer was different. There was an instant connection, a spark neither of us could explain. It was as if our souls recognized each other long before our hearts even knew what love was.

As the years passed, life did what life does. We grew up, we changed, and yet somehow, the universe kept finding ways to bring us back together. We crossed paths again as teenagers, once around 14 or 15, and again at 17 or 18. But at that time, we were still trying to figure out who we were. We were young and adventurous, living fast, and learning as we went. Parents moved, schools changed, and fate gave us a little more time apart to grow into the people we were meant to be.

Years went by. We lived, loved, learned, and built lives of our own. Children were born, lessons were learned, hearts were healed, and through it all, we were being shaped and molded for something greater.

Then, just a few days before Valentine’s Day in 2024, the universe whispered again. A message popped up on Facebook:

“Hey, remember me?”

My heart skipped a beat. Of course, I remembered. We met up, and the moment our eyes met, it was like time rewound and the world stood still. The same feeling of peace, familiarity, and “rightness” came flooding back, only stronger. We had both grown, both evolved, but that same unshakable connection was still there, deeper than ever. From that moment, we were inseparable.

Then, on July 5, 2025, the universe unfolded its final plan. During a family trip to Maine, we hiked up a mountain surrounded by trees, water, and endless sky. At the top stood a rickety old guard tower. We climbed to the top, hearts pounding, laughter echoing through the air, and there, with his family in on the surprise, he asked me to spend forever with him.

Time froze. The mountains, the wind, the sky, all bore witness as I said yes to the love that had been written in the stars since we were kids.

Looking back, it’s clear now that every twist, every turn, every heartbreak and reunion was leading us right here, to this moment, to this love, to this forever.
