I wore a red dress, and oh my goodness, it was breathtaking. The straps were as thin as angel hair pasta, barely any fabric covered my back. It flowed long and shaped to my little-to-no curves. I felt beautiful.
When we met, I was barefoot, grounded and completely at ease. Maybe it was his calmness too. He was handsome, but it was more than that. There was something about his presence that felt new to me, something that made everything else fade away.
I’ve overthought everything my whole life, but that night was different. My mind went quiet. I could only think about one thing, the way my soul felt, as if it had been woken from a deep sleep, suddenly alive and at peace.
What Inspired This Reflection
My now husband has always carried a calmness that feels rare. From the moment we met, his presence quieted the noise in my mind and brought a peace I didn’t know I was missing.This is inspired by our first date.
