Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best Friend

I share a post from @myfavouritejo to remind myself my partner does not see me as a burden. Whether you are imperfectly perfect or perfect... imperfectly, thank you for loving me.

Sharing a post from @ZannaKeithley on Instagram and how it makes me feel less alone. And another story about pink shorts and my first time to Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. Sharing a story about Christmas and what it was like growing up.

Recounting the morning I spent with my husband and thoughts about my day and restaurants I go to near my house. What makes a restaurant good? I thank him for sharing his thoughts with me and continuing to learn more about him every day. I tell the story of the hug bandit and why hugs are so important.

I talk through a day in my life from double standards to potatoes to date night and time, the most coveted asset.

I share posts I found from an account on Instagram called @tinykindnesses. I talked through my decision to not get a storage unit and what I learned about letting go of the need to control. At the end, I sleepily talk to my partner and thank him for our love story and how it continues to evolve.

I sing "More Than Words" by Extreme and express the ability to laugh at myself. I talk through my life, wonder what rich is to others and share one of my affirmations with you and how I got to that affirmation...I get paid to LIVE.

Letting go of uncertainty and learning to live one day at a time seems to be a theme I am working through and I will get there one day. How? Well the love from my partner is certain even when nothing else seems right.

In this episode, I sing "Love Is" by Brian McKnight & Vanessa Williams to my fiancee. I admit that even though I may not be the best singer, my partner accepts me with love. Later on, I share the future I envision with them and plans for my life. I end by thanking them for loving me and accepting me, as is.

In this episode, I thank my partner for taking my call and thank them for agreeing to my plan, even if it's challenging for us to go without contact for a year. They decided to let me go so I could go on my path and I would always have them to come back to.

I tell them about my day including the food I ate and go into great detail about one of my favorite vegetables. As I talk out loud, I realize distracting myself is one of my coping mechanisms.

I end by thanking my partner again for finding me and seeing me and my soul.

It's not easy for me and I tell my partner perhaps we should separate even though I love them. I give them a plan for us to get married next year instead because it's too hard for me and because I'm not focusing on my life, I feel like it's delaying my progress. I don't know what to do, do we stop now or do we just not get married?
