Can't afford. I can't afford. I can't afford. I can finally afford to propose to my girlfriend. For the past eight months, I've been lying to my girlfriend. I told her I needed a plus one for a networking event, but what she didn't know is that this event was her proposal. And it all starts with this video. Hey, baby. I know you're super sussed out and probably super confused, but there's one question that I haven't really answered in our entire relationship. How did I know you were the one? To be honest, I have to start with who I was before I met you. I know I've shared just about everything while we're better, but the one word I would describe myself before I met you is unstable. Not in the way that I could go crazy at any tier, but I just didn't have a strong direction. I didn't have any kind of idea about what I want to do, where I wanted to no, and who I wanted to be. But the biggest thing that I was missing through it all was why. And at the time, I thought I knew the why. I had to make a bunch of money to retire early. I had to go travel the world and see cool things to have cool stories to tell. And I had to be this superhero like Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne. I would be up every morning wondering to myself, what's the plan? I would be driving home after work with the golden hour sun in my eyes thinking, is this it? I would be up late at night staring at the ceiling wondering, why do I even pop? And then I met you. Julia who loves her dogs more than herself. Julia who makes sure everyone else is good before herself. Julia who hopes to see so much on the world. When I finally met you, life was different. The mornings where I would wake up excited to talk to you again. The drives back home from our dates where those golden hours felt a little more golden with me. The late nights on call together where the ceiling became a movie screen for all the memories that you shared, future we imagined, and moments together that we worse laughing about. When I finally met Sarang, who you love more than yourself, I felt like I was joining your life. Seeing that love you had for her, I wanted to be able to share that with a pet of our own. And then I remember when I found Uyu, and I was so excited to tell you about it. I know we had talked about wanting to get a cat, and when I found her in the warehouse at work, it was crazy that I could rescue her best like that. I couldn't wait to call you, and I was so excited to share with you. But when you picked up, your voice was heavy. Sarang needed surgery, and that surgery was over $10,000 And you had to make the most difficult decision of your life to say goodbye. And when Sarang passed, I wanted to be there for you and your grief. I didn't just want to take away the pain, I wanted to be there with you through it. And it was in that grief when I was holding you through it that I finally understood what it meant to be present for someone else. That moment made me want to be responsible for you and to be with you for the rest of our lives. You worse the one who made me finally realize what it means to put someone else before you. You were the one to show me what love is actually like. To finally see the art of life painted on the staff. To finally hear the music of life when the wind whistles. To finally smell the rain before it falls. To finally taste the salt of ocean air and know I wasn't alone. And to finally touch a hand that didn't make
