Two people, a man and a woman, smiling and taking a selfie in a dark forest with vibrant green and red lights illuminating the trees. There is an orange inflatable figure with a painted face in the background.
A smiling woman takes a selfie in the mirror, with a man standing behind her, both dressed in winter clothing. The woman is wearing a black winter coat, a black hat with a pom-pom, a checkered scarf, and has a brown Coach backpack. The man is wearing glasses, a black beanie, a black coat, and is standing close behind her, leaning in.

A Tribute From J

Two people sitting on a colorful striped blanket on a sandy beach, holding pizza boxes, with parked cars and a road in the background during sunset.

From May 24th, 2023 to today, our relationship has been anything but simple. Loving you has taken me through highs that felt effortless and lows that forced me to confront myself in ways I never had before. What we’ve shared hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been real.

There were moments when everything felt aligned, when laughter came easily and love felt natural and safe. There were also moments of misunderstanding, distance, and hurt even times when staying felt harder than leaving. I won’t pretend those moments didn’t happen. They did. They tested our patience, communication, and willingness to grow.

What matters to me most is that we kept finding our way back. Again and again, we chose to talk instead of disappear, to reflect instead of react, and to try—even when it was uncomfortable. Loving you has taught me that love isn’t just about feeling good; it’s about accountability, humility, and learning how to show up better than before.

You have challenged me, softened me, and pushed me to evolve. You’ve seen my flaws up close, just as I’ve seen yours, and still we’ve continued forward. Our relationship has shaped me in ways I never expected, and I’m grateful for the growth that came from both the joy and the pain.

From May 24th, 2023 to now, our story stands as proof that love can survive uncertainty when both people are willing to be honest, vulnerable, and present. We’re still here—not because it was easy, but because we chose each other, even when it was hard. I love you. — Jaden

These photos capture what words sometimes can’t—our moments. Not staged, not perfect, but real. Behind every smile is a story, behind every quiet frame is growth, and behind every moment is the understanding that we were building something meaningful in real time.
