6th June, 2024- Day 1

Thinley has arrived safely, and that is a huge relief. The best part was that we were able to talk. I was incredibly anxious because this was his first time traveling, and the uncertainty was overwhelming. After waiting for hours for his message, hearing his voice filled me with joy. Even though we had been chatting throughout his layovers, his final message confirming his safe arrival truly eased my worries.

However, a new reality has begun to sink in—this will be our only connection for the next two years. I am filled with both sadness and gratitude. Sad, because we will no longer be by each other’s side as we have always been. We have never been apart for more than a few weeks, and now, the distance feels immeasurable. Yet, I am also happy because he is embarking on this journey for our future, for our dreams.

The past day has been agonizing, time felt like it stood still. If just one day felt this long, I can't imagine how I will endure the next 730. I know this is not easy for him either.

I don’t know what the future holds for us, only time will tell. I can only hope that he stays strong and succeeds in everything he sets out to do. And as for me, all I can do is wait, believe, and pray.

Signing out,
Day 1 of Our LDR.

Celebrating One Year of LDR Journey

They say distance separates hearts, but I think ours just learned to beat louder. Today marks one full year of being in a long-distance relationship, 365 days of holding on, showing up, and proving that love doesn’t shrink with space; it stretches, adapts, and if you're lucky, it deepens. What once felt impossible is now something we’ve lived, and are still living, one day, one call, one “goodnight” at a time. I still think about that day at the airport. The way your hand slipped out of mine. The tears neither of us wanted to let fall. The ache I carried through, that was Day One, the beginning of this strange, beautiful, often frustrating chapter. We didn’t know if we’d last. But here we are. A year later. Stronger, closer, and even more in love. This year taught us that love doesn’t always come in fireworks or fairy tale moments. It comes in the little things. Your sleepy morning voice notes were my daily shot of warmth. My late-night texts full of memes became your las...

Cheers to 5 Years of Us!

Today marks five beautiful years of our journey together. Looking back, I’m truly thankful for everything we’ve poured into this relationship, the laughter, the tears, the love, and even the lessons. It hasn’t always been easy, but here we are, still choosing each other. And I hope we’ll continue to do so for the rest of our lives. Life isn’t like the perfect love stories we see in TikTok, K-Dramas or BL series. Real love is messy, raw, and honest. It’s a balance of both sunshine and storms. It starts with that giddy, butterfly-filled puppy love, fooling around, sharing silly jokes, and feeling like the world is brighter just because you’re together. But it also comes with disagreements, hurt feelings, and moments of doubt. Love, I’ve learned, isn’t about avoiding those hard times but about standing side by side and working through them. It takes two people, equally committed, to make it last. A friend once told me, “The first seven years of a relationship are the hardest with constant...

Thinley's bucket list

A few months ago, completely out of the blue, Thinley sent me his bucket list. Rereading it now, given everything we're going through, it feels like a collection of faraway dreams. There are moments when I truly don't know if we'll pull through this challenging time, but my heart desperately wants us to. We have to. His list, simply titled "Things I Want to Do With My Husband," holds the most beautiful and uncomplicated desires: a nice date, dinner, a movie, a visit to a Lhakhang, and traveling (just the two of us). These are such simple things, the kind we often take for granted in the rush of everyday life. It truly speaks to the pure, childlike heart that Thinley has. Despite the uncertainty that looms over us, I cling to the hope that we can make every single item on that list come true. It might not be exactly as we once imagined, or on the timeline we expected, but I am committed to finding a way. Here’s how I envision us completing his precious bucket list....

Sincerely Yours
