I want to tell you everything.

Every small thing that triggers my anxiety. Every petty thing that makes me jealous. Every thought that hurts more than it should.

I want to open up and let you see all of it.

The truth is, I've been carrying some of these feelings for months now. There are days when they are quiet, and there are days when they weigh heavily on me. Some of the things that affect me may seem small or insignificant, but the emotions they bring can feel very real.

But most of the time, I choose not to unload all of it onto you.

I choose to keep those battles to myself. I choose to be the calm and confident partner I know you value. I choose to handle my fears before they become yours.

Not because the pain isn't real. Not because I don't trust you.

But because I love what we have, and I don't want my fears to take away from our peace.

So while I'm still learning how to deal with these feelings, please know that if I seem quiet sometimes, it isn't because I don't care. It's because I'm trying my best to protect what we have while carrying struggles that I'm still learning to understand myself.

To my dearly beloved
