Ryan and I met on hinge and had an instant connection. It all started with our music taste, SpongeBob and his love for cheese. Our conversations were effortless and I spent many nights up way too late texting him, knowing I had to get up early to educate the youth the next day. He seemed too good to be true, even on our first date. It was December 13th, and I’ll never forget that day. I was so nervous as I pulled up next to him in his red truck, and we both went opposite ways trying to greet each other. It was a comical and authentic moment. From that night, I knew. I knew he was actually something different, he was the one I’ve always needed and the man that will forever change my perspective on love. From that night forward, we have been pretty much inseparable. He completes me, makes me better, understands me, loves me despite my baggage and insecurities. He truly is my perfect soulmate. Then, a year and 10 days later, he asked me to be his… forever. I am truly the happiest woman ever, because of him. I would go through all the trauma and pain I’ve endured all over again, if I knew he was at the end of it all. I love you, Ryan! 🖤
