I know I don't post on here at all anymore, but I wanted to ramble about my partner.

I met my girlfriend April 30th, 2022. There was a fundraiser my mom had a booth in, being hosted in the local graveyard to raise funds for said graveyard. I tagged along because it seemed interesting and I got to get out of the house. My friend Brooke showed up not too long after me and my mom finished setting up, and introduced me to her friend, Jane. Jane was really cool, she liked the things I liked, had a cool style, and was a generally cool person I liked being around. We became friends quickly, and she seemed to really like me. We placed little flowers on every grave we could, and took pictures with her Polaroid camera. Around an hour before I ended up leaving, we sat down and talked while listening to music. While we talked, she made me a mushroom out of felt, which I still keep with me in my carry on bag.

Fast forward a few months and we're hanging out and my friends' Elly and Brooke's house, playing truth or dare. When it was Jane's turn to pick a truth or dare, she picked truth, and was hit with the classic "Do you have a crush on anyone here?" question. She ended up panicking and leaving the room. Usual teenager havoc proceeded to start, like teasing and chasing around the house with foam weapons belonging to their 8 year old brother. After a few minutes, me and Elly ran into her room and she told me that Jane had been telling her about her crush on me for AGES, but couldn't tell me. I didn't know how to understand my own feelings at the time, so I couldn't express that I felt the same. Jane came in the room a few minutes later and told me Elly felt the same way she had. After a bit, we're sitting on Brooke's bedroom floor, and Jane is talking about how she was upset this is how I had found out, because she wanted us to sit under the stars and she wanted to tell me how much she'd loved me. How she knew she'd loved me the day we met.

Elly and I dated for a while, before she broke up with me in February 2023 (I'd like to add that this wasn't because of an argument, we were on good terms and are still friends to this day.), because apparently she wanted me to get with Jane since she saw a spark between me and her that she didn't see in us. The breakup wasn't devastating, it was more of a "I think we would be better off friends then girlfriends". Which we were, we are still friends to this day.

On August 6th, 2023, me and the same group of friends from the truth or dare game, were having a sleepover, and during that sleepover, I asked Jane to be my girlfriend, and she said yes. This was the day she kissed me for the first time. We were about to go home, and in the driveway, she asked to kiss me. I said yes, and she pulled me in by the neck and gave me a quick kiss I still feel on my lips whenever I think about it. Our first kiss wasn't scenic or insanely romantic. It was quick, in the middle of our friend's yard in the late morning, the sun peeking over the clouds as we held our bags. Our first kiss wasn't one I would find in the Victorian era romance novels I used to pour myself over, and I wouldn't have any other way. It was real.

Before this, Elly had talked about how Jane would talk to her about me all the time, and would talk about how pretty she thought I was, and just how much she generally liked me. She once told me that Jane had told her she us wanted to travel the world in a travel van, never really settle down, have a bunch of cats, and things like that. That was one of the things that made me realize I felt the same way for her. Before, I thought of it as more of a little crush, but after a while I realized I did love her more than I would a crush.

Jane likes art and music, she likes thrifting and giving gifts. She doesn't like berries, nuts or cakes, but she does like other baked things like cookies. She has a cool style, like a mix of goth and grunge. She wears tall heels and platforms on occasion. She loves jewelry, and even makes her own. She often forgets when she tells people things, so she'll tell the same story as if telling it for the first time at least 3 times. She bites my arm a lot, like a show of affection. One of her front teeth is crooked, which shows on the plethora of bite marks on my arm. I love the big and the small things about her. I love who she is, and who she makes me. I used to not believe in teenage love, since only around 3% of middle school to high school relationships actually last(according to a magazine I read years ago), but now I feel completely different. I love my girlfriend and I hope I can spend forever with her.
