Of one mind and two bodies.

I have found that a relationship between any two people has cycles it goes through—phases of interaction and connectedness. The past few days, Garrett and I have been the same person. And when this happens, I feel like I am wholly myself. We joked and laughed all weekend; we navigated malls, people, and bars knowing that we have everything we could ever want within each other.

I love that man with every part of me—he is every part pf me.

Regarding Jesus Christ's birthday.

piscesinpurple:

He was born sometime in August. The reason we celebrate Christmas when we do is a couple of thousand years ago, when the early church wanted to be palatable to the pagan masses, they made their big holiday coincide with the winter solstice.
