us, so far

Everything that got us here.

Not the highlights reel. The actual order of things, including the parts that were hard, because those are the ones that proved it.

  1. 9 July 2005

    Before I knew there was anything to wait for

    The world got you first. It had seventeen years of you before I turned up, which still feels like an unfair head start.

    The day we met

    Neither of us knew it was the start of anything. This is the date everything else on this page is counted from.

  3. Somewhere in the first weeks

    The night the conversation would not end

    You know which one. I am not going to describe it back to you badly.

  4. 22 September 2022

    The day we stopped calling it anything else

    Four months after the first day. The counter on this site starts here.

  5. The first hard week

    When it got difficult and we stayed anyway

    Anyone can do the easy part. At some point we found out we were going to do the other part too.

  6. Somewhere in the middle

    The ordinary days

    A thousand small ones. Good morning. Did you eat. Look at this reel. It's the ordinary days that actually built this.

  7. Now

    Here

    Still choosing it. Still counting. Still yours.

…and the rest is still being written.
