title · beginning
when I married my wife we decided to live independently
contextual · beginning
not alone and distant
contextual · beginning
but in a way where we can both keep our hobbies
contextual · beginning
and not let it affect each other
contextual · beginning
she wants me to be happy, I want her to be happy
contextual · middle
neither of us needs it to look the same
contextual · middle
so I picture our life as a "Venn diagram"
contextual · middle
where we each have our own interest
contextual · middle
and there is a common ground
contextual · middle
the longer we have been together
contextual · middle
that Venn diagram looks more like a circle
contextual · middle
but that's because she's just my best friend
contextual · middle
so we go to the gun range together,
contextual · middle
we sauna, we cold plunge
contextual · middle
we run, and eat together,
contextual · end
but there's plenty of days
contextual · end
I get up to go surf at 4:00am
contextual · end
while she's coming home from a night out with her friends
contextual · end
and we just find it lucky that we got to see each other in a moment like that
informational · end
so my advice stay true to yourself
informational · end
and marry someone who loves that you love different things
