Almost fifteen years, I have to remind myself to not over exaggerate our timeline lest the pretty eyes frown at me.
Over the years many projects, many people and many obsessions have come and gone, I find it interesting to take a step back and analyze my life for what it is.
We are a series of moments and more importantly, decisions.
In 2011 the girl and I entwined our futures together and frankly, whilst many projects have been rendered asunder I can’t bring myself to care very much about the fallout.
I once wrote about the girl being my bedrock and nearly 15 years later nothing has changed. Many shifts have and will continue to happen in our lives but the girl will always be a fixture and frankly I am always surprised someone would put up with my general dourness for so long.
It’s said that after 7 years the rate of divorce goes down drastically, I vaguely acknowledge various people saying we would not last 5 years. And yet here we are.
A general fuck you seems warranted but honestly I write this out of habit, because ultimatly the little people have such miniscule impact on our lives and our future that I cannot bring myself to give more than a handful of fucks.
Plenty of people can eschew wisdom, tidbits of pseudo-intellectualism to justify a constant but really it always comes down to choices. Yes or no, together or alone, succeed or perish.
I am not the sappy archetype but after nearly a decade of the girl proofreading everything I write, I think its important for her to truly understand how much of me is actually her.
I always hate leaving projects without closure. If it was down to me, in the vacuum of my own reality I would have taken this site down many years ago.
EliseandThomas.com has always been the ugly step child of our blogging endeavors. Never had a commercial way out nor a social bias. Drifting on the internet in a state of flux. Fundamentally, we have bigger fish to fry.
Apologies, but not really.
I like looking back on my prior scribbles but don’t expect any tangible updates. If any.
We are busy, together in this world of our making and we continue as we always have, together.
