feywoodToday is shanaqui and my seventh anniversary.
It's not one of the big numbers, but I feel it still deserves some attention.
We're both hopeless about remember anniversaries, really. We tend to forget till just the day before or, in one case, had to be reminded by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

We met online eight years ago, roleplaying with a mutual friend.
Seven years ago, our first real life visit. One week spent together, crammed together in a tiny bedroom, being silly, laughing our asses off, working up the courage to kiss the other but both of us too scared to say anything.
But it happened and though we decided afterward that we wouldn't follow it up since it'd be too complicated, it didn't really last that long before we changed our minds and I haven't regretted that for one moment.
It hasn't always been easy.
There's still the distance between us. We don't see each other nearly often enough. We both have our issues, both mental and physical. There's stress, there's other people, there's families...
But at the same time, it's been so very, very good.
There isn't anyone in this world who knows me as well as Nikki does. There is no one in this world who has been kinder to me or who has shown me such endless patience and understanding. Who accepts my flaws, my mistakes and who appreciates me for who I am.
You will never know a better person than Nikki. Open mind, open heart and so very out of my league. There are still days I don't understand just why I'm so lucky, but I am always grateful that I kissed her, that very early morning on August 5th.
