You,
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe it’s been a whole year of knowing such a charming person.
And I already know you’d make a clever joke about how it all started, your version of the story.
So let me tell the real one, from my lens.
From the very first moment we spoke, you were intrigued, and so was I.
You came up with the most ridiculous excuse to reach out because you wanted to know me. Just admit it.
If you had waited a day longer, I would have reached out instead, because I wanted to know you. I’m so glad you didn’t wait.
And that’s how we met.
I just played along, pretending I didn’t notice, pretending I didn’t know, but I did.
And maybe that’s what makes this friendship so special
that quiet awareness between us,
the things we never have to say out loud.
From the moment you chose that empty seat, something small but lasting began to unfold.
And though I don’t know where this story is going, I do know I’m grateful for every part of it;
for the laughter, the silence, and the ordinary days that somehow became unforgettable.
So, to mark this little milestone, I wanted to make this a bit more fun.
A small memory game, just for you.
To the fun Part 😍
The Quiet Hide Memory Game (and yes, chocolate is involved 🍫)
You have one simple task:
Recreate “Our Story” as a private Google Map list.
Add five pins — one for each of the memories below.
Each pin should have:
• The location (or your best guess!)
• The date or month, if you remember
• A short note describing what you remember most
When you’ve completed it, send me the screenshot or share the list.
If you get them all right… Well, chocolate might find its way to you.
Ready? Let’s see how well you remember.
1. Where It Began
A random day.
A quiet room.
A moment that I didn’t even know was the beginning.
You said something small.
I remember how it felt, easy, natural, like talking to an old friend, except you were a stranger.
📍 Hint: Think of where you first sat across from me.
2. The First Catch-Up
It was a warm day.
I was wearing my blue scarf, and you had your sunglasses on.
Before joining you, I wrote this in my notes app:
“I just need to breathe.
Pause.
Remember.
It’s still you,
the same person
I play with,
tease,
and quietly watch
when no one’s watching me.
I hope it’s not written
across my forehead
how much I care.”
The conversation was seamless.
Then came the misunderstanding.
But even in that, it felt real, and it mattered.
📍 Hint: The place you showed me the sunrise.
3. The Reading
The sky was grey.
I read something that felt too honest,
And you chuckled when I called myself an incurable romantic.
You listened, really listened
And that was enough.
That was the first time I realised silence could feel like safety.
📍 Hint: Someone interrupted and you rudely horrid them off.
4. The Quiet Understanding
No grand gestures.
No pretending.
Just coffee, realness, and time standing still.
The world slowed down that morning.
For once, we weren’t analysing, fixing, or trying to prove anything;
We were simply there.
📍 Hint: Your Pick.
5. The Quick Hello
The simplest thing.
Behind the glass,
the smile, the wave,
The smallest gesture that made my entire day.
It said everything.
It said, We’re still here.
📍 Hint: Didn't even know the room existed, lol.
Bonus Question:
If you had to name this story, what would you call it?
You get extra chocolate if your answer makes me smile.
Epilogue
Maybe this is how the best stories begin, quietly, playfully,
with two people who never planned to find each other,
But did anyway.
I'm still here,
choosing you.
