Today is 10 years of our relationship. That’s 3652 days, 87,648 hours, 5,258,880 minutes, 315,532,800 seconds.

Everything started in the 2004, when our eyes crossed in the school hall. From that moment on, we were never apart. Looking back now I realise how young we were. The one thing we had in common right from the start, were the goals we wanted to achieve in life. We were both forced by circumstances to grow up faster then the others, and that’s what bonded us together. We made plans of how we wanted our future to be like.

It’s almost impossible to point out all the adventures we had in those ten years. Sometimes we laugh at silly things we did together many years ago, like we were an old couple. And some day I wish to remember today. With you I don’t need to pretend to be something I’m not. I can truly be myself and never be uncomfortable about it. I always feel loved, appreciated and safe.

I love that you’re always up for new adventures. Like when we left everything and everyone to move 1000 km away from what we used to call home. I always feel at home when I am with you, no matter where we are. I love that you’re passionate about your work. You never complain or wish for something someone else has. You are truly honest and loyal. I’m really proud of your professional growth over those years and I wish you all the success in this world, because you deserve it all.

You are unique. You think for yourself, you do what you think is best and never let anyone tell you how to feel or behave. You are my best friend and partner for life. I love that we can talk about anything anytime. We rarely fight, but we love to talk about silly things for hours and hours. You are always there when I need you, yet you give me all the freedom in the world, to do what I want. There were ups and downs, but you never gave up on us, not once.

You said to me once that everything you do, you do it for us. And I’m really grateful for that. I can’t and I don’t want to imagine my life without you. You are my first thought in the morning, and my last when I go to sleep.
