My Anniversary Gift Is Better Than Yours — Pleasant Picnicking
A change of pace brings excitement.
First-year anniversaries can be either taxing or very tantalizing, depending on the celebrants. The event can evoke whimsical emotions or the dread of being alive long enough to remember what happened a year ago. Second-year anniversaries either lessen the pain or motivate the joy of what’s to come in the relationship.
I reveled in my relationship. He and I. I and him. We made each other laugh and smile at every given moment, feeling like energetic teenagers in love for the first time. Our minds were intertwined in each other’s presence.
Our heartbeats synchronized as one.
My fondness for cool winds, grassy knolls, and a panoramic view of trees swaying from their majestic tops was what intrigued him about me. He too liked the outdoors, but the first year of our relationship was mostly spent at my house.
If we ventured into the public domain, we were keeping the bartender company at a restaurant or watching the latest premiere in the middle section of a movie theater. We never ventured into the outdoors, allowing nature to caress our backs, congratulating us on our journey to love and companionship.
