They dated for a couple years and broke up amicably. Two-ish years later, she unfortunately passed away. I go over to an old friend’s house to reconnect and grieve, and lo and behold he’s his roommate 😅 A year after that we started dating! We’re incredibly happy together and know we’re gonna get married someday, and my late friend would find it all very funny

Was up working late in the shop with a couple of guys I vaguely know;
Guy #1 got broken up with his high school sweetheart, got a mullet the day after, and feels stupid.
Guy #2 fell in love with a girl but didn't know her "true colors". He didn't like when she didn't let him drink at his uncle's wedding.
Guy #3 met the most amazing woman in his entire life, who was perfect for him in every way, but couldn't make it work cuz of their conflicting schedules. They just couldn't ever see each other. They didn't speak for half a year, she got another man, then got into a car accident that took her life. Guy 3 says whoever he dates next (and if) has some pretty high standards to reach.

My partner and I met when we were freshman at the University of Iowa. We both lived in English major housing. One day, I went over to talk to my friend Ryan, a few doors down, and I saw Charlie leaning on his chair. They had long brown hair that was perfectly straight and a rich curtain of bangs. They had absurdly blue eyes. They were the hottest person I had ever seen and I decided that they were going to see a lot of me.
Unfortunately, Ryan was shy and Charlie was shyer making it hard to start conversations. So I listened, really really carefully for a chance to be combative. If I heard Charlie say anything I would disagree. If I heard them in the hallway, I would run it in front of them and “fall“ down the stairs. I did everything I could so they would have to talk to me! Pretty soon, we were in the same Intro to English major and then we were talking regularly (I was still annoying because that’s just the kind of person I am).
Then we went on a date to a pasta place, then we moved in together, then they saved my life, then we adopted a cat. And we lived like that for 10 years. Last year we got married in a historic theatre 15 minutes from where we first met. Today is our one year wedding anniversary.

No idea what I’ll do with them yet but they’re very fun to make!! I recommend taking a lamp work class if you’re ever interested, it’s very meditative

Some other hits:
Bad at being a woman, worse at being a man, nevertheless still kicking
Fear is useless and temporary, glory is forever
If it sucks, hit the bricks! You can leave!
