In the summer of 2018, Jackson came across my Instagram and decided to send me a DM — and that simple message ended up changing everything. Even though we had gone to the same high school, we had never really talked before. After that first message, we started texting every day. Before long, we were going to high school football games together, going to semi-formal, and finding any excuse to spend more time together. What started as a random summer message turned into something that just felt right. Not long after, we made it official — and we’ve been choosing each other ever since.
