I’m not a traveler anymore.
At least not right now.
Right now I am someone I never thought I could be. A person who works two jobs to pay rent, to pay the bills, who deep down dreams about when the next trip will end, when I can come home instead of dedicating hours, days, months to the next endeavor.
A partner. The future, now firm and tangible instead of some far off whisper of reality. I never thought I would be writing this. That I found someone. That I actually found someone, the one. The one that could help me break open my chrysalis and unfold my wings. It took time. A lot of time, and trials, and tribulations, ad nauseum, ad infinitum but I found the person I wanted to be with. The person I needed to be with, who actually understood me before they knew me.
Ironic. Because I never wanted to stop traveling, but that is what it took to actually find the right person to be with. Figured out that all it took to make love stay was to stay for a while and invite it in. That I needed to stop so I could eventually run into you, drawn together by the invisible strings that bind this universe. You are my partner. Time-travel companion. And now we are setting forth, each day a new adventure, side-by-side with our partner.
I’m not a traveler anymore, but that’s ok because I am a time traveler now and I finally have someone to time-travel with.
