We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet… I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything.

Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness’.”

The point where a relationship transitions into being a serious one is when you ask your significant other, and yourself, if you want to share each others’ lives. Like, “hey, do you want to experience my journey with me? Do you want me to experience your journey with you?” You take two wandering paths out of millions and millions in the world and have them become one and the same.
It’s been a while since I’ve shared my life with anyone. I began to think I had lost the capacity to, but I know that that’s not true. I guess the question now is: will it work for us to have our paths converge?
