Jacob and I met in July of 2019 We met each other in the psychiatric unit at Marquette General. I was terrified upon arriving and Jacob could tell. He was a bit of a frequent flyer himself so he gave me a few tips. He warned me that not eating my food would get me stuck there longer. When I responded with I’m a vegetarian, he informed me that we are able to write down basically anything we want on our menus. I’m so socially awkward and shy that I continued ordering off of the regular daily menu anyway. We had this indescribable connection from our first conversation. On the day he was discharged we walked around the halls and talked for about a half an hour. He waited to leave just so he could spend more time talking to me. We hit it off right away and when he left, I was quite sad even though I hardly knew him. Before leaving he wrote down his number and offered me his leftover snacks. I was discharged the next day but I lost his number in the chaos of packing and getting back to normal life. A couple weeks later I sent him a friend request on facebook. We started messaging back and forth and haven’t stopped talking since!
