<\/p>\nI’ve probably put this one up before because it makes me laugh. Seesawing – as an adult – with the boy you are dating – but most important: seesawing with a total lack of irony.<\/p>\n
Michael is one of the many friends who has helped keep me sane this past couple of months.<\/p>\n
In this photo, we have known each other for all of four weeks. We began dating almost immediately upon meeting one another, skipping all of the preliminary steps – because seriously, why bother – and at the time that this photo was taken we had settled into the rhythm of an old married couple. He even said to me, around this time, “I think we’re in a rut. We need to shake things up.” A rut. After four weeks. It made no sense, but whatever, he’s still in my life today. Not too shabby, not too shabby. Important to see the gift in such things.<\/p>\n
