It’s hard to believe that just eight years ago, I met my partner in life. While I do not know if there are such things as soulmates, I do believe there are perfect partners at perfect times in life. Perhaps, even there are multiple soulmates in life – sometimes embodied in one individual that one might be lucky enough to find early in life or divided into multiple individuals whom we meet when the timing is right. Or, perhaps, it’s all hogwash and we just figure out how to be with someone else as we live life.
Whatever one believes or feels, I am glad to have met my “lobster” in the words of Phoebe in Friends.
I’ve had deep love and I’ve had good enough love and I’ve had not sure if this is love but I’ll see kind of relationships before. None of them really stuck until I met M.
Who knows what lies ahead of us and if we are together forever? It doesn’t really matter because he is my person for this moment and the foreseeable future. Thank goodness, too – I’m not sure that I will ever make the effort to find someone else if I ever find myself on my own again.
Anyway, I’m not necessarily a big V-day celebrant, but I enjoy the idea around celebrating love. So, we do. Besides, we are also still mushy in-love with each other – most of the time.
This year, we had made appointments in Rome for a general practitioner visit to get ourselves – mostly him – checked up on our health status since it has been a couple of years due to our moving around. Now that we are more settled and his health hasn’t been 100 percent, we thought sooner rather than later was best. I mean, what better day to do it than on V-day? So, we booked a hotel and went a day early as our appointments were early-ish in the morning.
Celebrating early also means that it is easier to get reservations! I found a middle-range priced restaurant where we had a really nice meal, enjoyed each other’s company and counted each other lucky to have found someone to share life with.
So, we had a lovely time and look forward to even more V-days ahead!
