Let me take you back to the beginning – where our love story began with a game of two truths and one lie. To this day, I still tease him about that lie, but it's become a sweet inside joke between us. Isn't that how love works? It's full of quirks and surprises, just like us.

Picture this: it's the midst of the pandemic, and the world feels uncertain and chaotic. But amidst it all, I found him – the one who stood out from the crowd of the dating pool (the dating app). What drew me to him? It wasn't just his charming smile or witty banter; it was the fact that he didn't ask the usual pandemic questions. Instead of the typical "How's your social distancing going?" he sparked conversations that felt real and meaningful.

So, to anyone who doubts the magic of love letters, I say this: embrace the romance of the written word. Within those pages lies the essence of our deepest emotions, our most cherished memories, and our unwavering commitment to each other. And who knows? You might just discover a love story as beautiful and unique as ours.

That's when our love story took an unexpected turn – we started to FaceTime each other. We began our long-distance relationship, and one day I asked him to write me a letter. In a world dominated by texts and emails, there was something incredibly intimate about putting pen to paper and baring our souls in ink. At first, I'll admit, it felt a bit cheesy. I know it was my idea, but still, it felt like the notebook moment. Expressing my feelings on paper when I'm not exactly a poet? But as the words flowed, I realized that this was my love language – a tangible expression of my emotions, wrapped in handwritten letters.

We called them our "love letters," and for a whole year, we poured our hearts out to each other in ink. Each letter was a love note, a snapshot of our evolving relationship in the midst of a tumultuous world.

As time passed and our love deepened, our letters became cherished keepsakes, reserved for special occasions and moments of reflection. They serve as a reminder of where we started and how far we've come – a testament to the enduring power of love, even in the darkest of times.
