I Fell In Love With A Monster
-the best thing that ever happened to me.
Yay! It’s officially the season of the witch! 🔮
Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and Halloween? My favorite holiday. As part of my October Happiness Project, I’m focusing on marriage. Almost 11 years ago, I said, “I do” on Halloween—because what could be more on brand for me?
To celebrate, here are 11 gems from nearly 11 years of monster-loving matrimony:
Find someone who celebrates your weird, not just tolerates it. I’ve been in relationships where my personality was admired, but I was still asked to “tone it down a bit.” Be a little less me. Fuck. That. My husband celebrates my weird, and honestly, he’s weirder than I am in some ways. I found my monster, and he’s helped me discover strange, beautiful parts of myself I didn’t even know existed.
There should be three lives in every relationship: Yours, theirs, and the life that is shared together. Protect all three.
