I’m writing my second birthday letter to you, not only at least as infatuated and obviously in love with you as I was last year when I wrote you a card, but definitely more so.
And yes, it’s funny how even though you don’t like to hear about all the compliments I have for you, and all these deep feelings hiding in my head, I still choose to do this on your birthday… Enjoy! I guess... So ist das Leben, mon ami.
Mon amour.
The last year (and then some) has been a bit intense, and while one could argue that our life isn't completely #no-drama just yet, settling into a somewhat more peaceful day-to-day life has been even better than what I had been dreaming of (and you know I can dream!).
And sure, everyone can thrive in the 'extraodinary', but what I love about us, is our 'ordinary'.
It doesn’t really matter what we do, if we put together an IKEA bed (wrongly first, and then you fix my mistakes), make a puzzle, make dumplings, bike (oh well...), drill through electric wires, go shopping, install curtains, watch, play, eat… I still need to pinch myself almost every time I am with you. Because what an amazingly, impossibly magical feeling it is, to share my ordinary days with Dischou.
(I know that you will never love me and care for me the same way you do for your robot, but 2nd place to 'the best thing e-v-e-r' is good enough 😉)
I wish I had spent yet another cozy weekend with you instead of binge drinking aperol spritz (I don't know if that is what I am actually doing while you read this... but it seems plausible!), to sleep next to you and heat you up. To be the creep who takes pictures of you while you sleep (you must love seeing that!!!).
Our little Ding together has been nothing so far if not full of adventures. Big and small. Fun and cringe! Whether we're boosting our Versailles-worthy gardening skills in our weisse Stadt, making *tiny* scratches on cars in Italy, or making questionable itinerary decisions on walks in Austria, there's nowhere I would rather be than in the vicinity of your rock-hard body, occasional sarcasm, tender heart and beautiful eyes... with Nivea in my hand ready to cream your feet 😍.
So, as we add a year to your life calendar, I pledge to doing everything I can to turn this next one into yet another year filled with love, adventures... and lots of naps.
P.S. Sadly for you, nothing will make me smile harder than celebrating you every day, because you are an amazing human. Because discovering who you are brings me pure, unparalleled (wait for it...) felicità!
I love everything about you.
All of it.
So get used to it.
Happy birthday, love.

Go to your attic. Your presents are waiting for you there.
Oh! And here is, as promised, a lovely carousel of toilet selfies.
Because why not.
