How do you both “personify” your love?
Answer:
“Tay makes everyday feel like Valentine's Day. She is so thoughtful and sweet. She is always a few steps ahead of me, whether its to cook a delicious meal for me or show up by surprise with desserts or bubble tea in hand through cold and rainy weather just because I mentioned I wanted something. We show love in so may ways, through sharing music, meals, inspiration. We allow ourselves to be our full unabashed selves.”
“Keamber has been the first person to actually create/hold true space for me. The moments where I am full of tears and hurt she is more than willing to allow me to process and share at my own timing and is ready and willing to love me how I need to be loved.”
