So today 17 May 2022 marks my 11-year relationship. The feeling is unbelievable and pretty overwhelming. Very overwhelming rather! It has been a rather long journey with so many ups and downs, so many. But it has been one hell of a ride!
Let's call him Panda (for obvious reasons). So Panda and I met when I was in class 9th in 2011. We used to play together in the park and we clicked instantly, it was a really tender age to understand what the bond really was so we became friends. And then it all started, mine was an all-girls school so we started meeting secretly. He was my date for my farewell afterparty too. Then in college, we chose different subjects but used to meet each day, bunk and just roam around and see new places. This was not it, my family got to know about us many times and they had gotten strict every time, on the other hand, his family is total chill about me. This is how Panda and I literally grew together and faced all the problems.
I went on pursuing my master's degree and Panda went to Singapore to pursue his. We were dreading the long distance but we knew we could make it work. And we did! It has been 2 years since he is in Singapore and I in India, but Trust and Love are the keys to any successful relationship.
So I belong to a Rajput family and Panda from a Punjabi family, so obviously, there has to be a drama about it. But we are ready to face anything that comes our way.
Panda has made me so much better as a human being. He bears with all my tantrums, mood swings and literally everything. One thing I have learnt is, that it's not just girls who require love and attention, but boys too need so much care and pampering. And I shower him with a lot of pampering too! Also, I was a little scared for today because it will be 3 years in a row that I will be spending this day alone but I know he will come back this year and we will take things to our families together.
So here I am typing this on my 11th anniversary, feeling blessed and introducing you all to my personal life for the very first time.
