Dear Kajal,

I think packing makes me all sentimental for some reason, I really wish you could be with me for this upcoming trip.

I feel like we’ve had a crazy month already, and there’s been many moments where we’ve been tired, annoyed or grumpy with each other.

I hope you know there’s noone else I’d rather be grumpy with than you. I think about this a lot and despite how much I kick up a fuss, I love that I get to solve everything that we need to solve with you. I love that the end-result is being with you.

I also wanted to say I’m really proud of you. I think you’ve been working hard on being Kajal - when I think of the nails, the running shoes, the skating/bouldering dilemma.

I think your soul is an adventurer and I love that about you. I love that you remind me to do the same. To be ambitious, not in just in a superficial kind of way, but to genuinely feed my essence and experience the world as much I can, and take every opportunity that’s out there. In this particular way, you inspire me a lot.

I love that you want to do so much and be so much.

I also love you just as you are, and I hope you love yourself the same. I hope you’ll be kinder to yourself, as kind as you’ve been to me. I’ll make sure the world is kind back.

Thank you for this month so far, I lean on you so much and you lean right back. I’m really grateful for every ounce of effort. I hope your days are always warm and comfortable.

Thank you for being in the driving seat a lot this month.

with love, Nathan
