A short note to my husband, Miru Miru, I love you. Thank you for standing beside me through the late nights and the frantic deadlines. Thank you for laughing when I’m dramatic and for making coffee when I forget. SSIS740 matters to me — but it doesn’t matter more than you. I’m working on being present, and I’m grateful for your patience as we figure out this balance.
This post is about that tension — loving a partner while also being fiercely committed to something that sometimes makes us feel at odds.
Closing thought If you love someone while chasing something big, you’re not failing — you’re navigating a hard, honest path. Name the strain, build small rituals, and include the person you love in the journey. Loving and striving can coexist; they just require intention.
