daved,
YOU BOUGHT YOUR TICKETS YESTERDAY!!! i didn't think it would actually happen... not because i don't think you would change your mind, but because i'm so used to something coming up and being disappointed. i'm so excited to see you for the first time. i already know that the feeling i will get when i first lay my eyes on you will be a once-in-a-lifetime feeling. i can't wait to see you, to smell you, to touch you. i can't wait to tell you everything i've been holding back.
the other day, you mentioned how you've been depressed because you feel like you're not good enough for me because of my career. i've always wondered if you felt that way, but i had been hoping that you didn't. it makes me sad that you do because i don't consider myself superior due to my academic and career success. those are things that i worked hard for, but they don't define me. they definitely don't make me a better person because i think a lot of people could achieve what i achieve if they had my upbringing. the way i see it, i have my job so i can support you in your own endeavors. i'm not looking for money or status in a partner -- i'm looking for understanding, compassion, and sincerity. i make this much money because i want to be able to pick a partner based on compatibility, not financial needs. you are everything that i've ever wanted. i feel not only seen by you, but also understood. that is so rare for me. so, really, you ARE good enough. i've talked to and dated people who were more successful than me in their career, but they weren't good enough because they didn't accept me as i was like you do. don't be intimidated by my job. you should be comforted by it because it means i wholeheartedly choose you with complete free will. there is no doubt in my mind about you that i'm hiding because i need what you can provide. every day that i'm with you is because i choose to do so with all of my heart.
