I got off work today with my head heavy. It's enough with schoolwork already, why am I torturing myself with all this peer pressure coming from people I barely know?
Like every day, I picked up the phone and called em before her sleep (we're in a long-distance relationship and I’m 5 hours behind). Telling em about my day, about the stress I'm having, and as usual, em soothe me like a baby being cradled.
And it's not empty consolation like "it's okay" or "don't overthink", I was actually convinced by em's reasoning about why I should not pay attention to those people who were stressing me out.
Wait, so is it because I was too naive or em was just too persuasive? Either way, I always hate to admit em is the smarter one in this relationship.
That's when I realized this woman will support, and encourage me no matter what, even if I'm a criminal.
If you need an analogy to this, then I feel like I'm Lightning McQueen and she's Maddy McGear, remember this cut from Cars? Lightning Mcquennnnnn.
To answer the question "Does Em make me a better person?"
A Hard Yes, but in her own way. I'm still the same person when we first met. It's just that with you, I'm extending my boundaries, and we are able to go further like a synergy, literally (we've been to 5 countries together in 2023, flexing, sorry 😔).
I'm grateful, and thank you for being my motivation (my grumpy motivation).
And that's how I realise
Oh shiet, I got my biggest fan
