300 days
Today marks the day where Youn-hee and I know each other for exactly 300 days. What seems like such a short period, feels like a lifetime already. In the good way.
Last week, out of the blue, Youn-hee and I were reading through our very first chat messages. We couldn’t help but feel how cute we were together, accompanied by lots of ’awww’ and ’so cute!’ sounds. Looking back, it seems like we both already felt what was going to happen.
Almost 100 days later I packed my bag and went to Korea, to spend a month there again and, obviously, to meet Youn-hee for the first time ever. The spark (or, big-ass lightning) was there from the very first nano-second, and so exactly 100 days after we first met, I asked Youn-hee to be my girlfriend. And, crazy as she is, she said yes :).
Sadly we couldn’t be together (in person) for our 200 days anniversary, but we promised that we would celebrate it a bit later, when we’re both together again. And so, after about 250(-ish) days, Youn-hee and I were together once again. This time, however, we met in The Netherlands.
We celebrated our anniversary (and her birthday mixed into it) by going to Paris for a couple of days. It has always been her dream to go there, so I felt like it was a fitting choice. I do realized (afterwards, as always) that I set the bar pretty darn high by doing this for our 200-days anniversary. Imagine what I have to do for our 10 years anniversary. or 25. Oh dear god have mercy.
We had an amazing time together, and so was the rest of the month we spend together (every day!).
Now we’re here. 300 days later. I’m in The Netherlands, Youn-hee is in Korea. I’m preparing my plans to move to Korea, where I’ll stay for at least a year-or-so. To try out what it’s like to actually live there. Of course moving costs quite a bit (especially if you start with ‘nothing’), so it’ll take a bit to get there. But I feel like I’m getting close. And, to be honest, I can’t wait to be back with her. As much as I like loving someone as much as I love her, it also sucks.. Why? Well..
It’s so d*mn hard to focus on work when you constantly miss her..
Happy anniversary, my Youn-hee. 300 days.. Just ~21.900 more days, then you’ll finally get rid of me. That is, if you don’t believe in life after life…
