1) How to cook (I'm not exaggerating)

I wish I was joking about this one, but its true. Before you, i've never cooked anything but a grilled cheese or some eggs. Look at me now, head chef 😎 In all seriousness, you have taught me the importance of pushing the boundaries and opening up my mind. I wouldn't cook or learn to cook for anyone else, but now I want to learn how to make all your favorite cuisines. Everytime I cook something I just imagine you, coming home from a long shift in your scrubs, and being able to hand you a nice, warm, great looking plate of food, and having your eyes light up. Trust me, I don't want to be a house husband, but I feel like I will at this rate. You know why? Because seeing that smile makes it all worth it. Anyways, thank you for this, your cooking skills have taught me so much, and I absolutely adore cooking WITH YOU as well.

2) How To Always Be Selfless With Others

You are the most selfless person i've ever met. You have such a beautiful soul babygirl. It inspires me every single day i'm with you. From your acts of service, like bringing me a snack or asking me if I want water when I pick you up, to literally cooking a whole meal for someone you've barely met in between 2 stressful classes, You fucking inspire me Shrinithi Arunkumar. You are literally an angel on Earth. You have such a sweet sweet heart, and such a good soul. I got so absolutely lucky with you. I just want to give you the world because you deserve it.

3) - The persistance of pushing towards a goal

You are the hardest working person i've ever met. All the odds are stacked against you. And instead of giving up, what do you do? You push fucking harder. You give me my optimism baby. You inspire me so much. Your constant perseverance AND FUCKING SUCCESS WITH EVERYTHING AGAINST YOU is so fucking inspiring. You are the embodiment of who I want in a wife and who I want to be like. Everything you've gotten, you can confidently say you earned. From every shadowing, to you GPA that's all dividends of YOUR hard work. That's so amazing baby, and I love you so much for it. It inspires me day in and day out, and I know your future is bright because of it. I love you so much. This made me tear up with how proud I was just writing it. I love you my future doctor ❤️

4) The Art of Expressing and Understanding - Communication

You've opened my eyes to how vital communication is in our world babygirl, especially in a relationship. Your ability to express your thoughts and feelings so clearly, and your patience in understanding mine, have been nothing short of transformative. You've shown me that words have power - to heal, to understand, to connect, and to grow. Your approach to conversations, whether light-hearted or serious, has taught me the importance of truly listening, not just hearing. You've taught me that communication isn't just about speaking, but also about creating a space where silences are comfortable and every emotion is respected. For this, and for so much more, I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being my partner, my listener, and my teacher in the art of communication. I love you more with every word we share. ❤️

5) Hep B is not an STD (google might disagree)

This is a throwback, but the exact quote is "you really thought Hep B is an std you idiot". Wow Shri! I did not know that Hep B wasn't an STD!! You are so smart! Thank god I have a pre-med to lead the way! I would've never known! This is the biggest thing i've learned during our relationship. Thank you for this insight.

6) What True Love Looks Like

From day 1, minute 1 on June 4th, 2022, I knew it. I knew you were the one. I knew you were my soulmate.

Our dynamic is absolutely unmatched. I've never connected with anyone so fast, and i've never developed a bond like I have with you. This kind of bond transcends generations, lives, fuck the present. It's something our grandkids will show to their grandkids, showing pictures of us and saying "look, its these mfs that started it all, but look how in love they are". You have shown me what true love is baby. It's unspeakable acts of service, it's dependability, it's reliability. It's you. You are my true love. You are everything I want now and for the rest of my life. I don't want anyone else. You're my soulmate, and that's not just because of how much we have in common. We were always supposed to be together, whether that's this life or a different one. I love you so much and our relationship is what made me believe in fate more. I used to never think too much about soul ties and fate until I met you. You are my true love, and I can't thank you enough for showing me what that looks like. I love you so much my love ❤️
