k8 explains how she and Ryan started dating

[@bruceusername]

Get it twisted: the love of your life will message you first. she WILL ask you to go on an adventure. She WILL think you are weird if you make the first move. Get it twisted: You WILL both feel a feeling you have never felt before, something everlasting yet fleeting. She WILL make every step progressing the relationship. Get it twisted: all you need to do is sit back and wait.

Met my wife on a whim 11 years ago and almost every detail of how we met goes against what I would usually do in the circumstances at the time. I don’t know if I ever would’ve met her if not there and it’s almost an infinitely small chance it all played out the way that it did. Not only have I never looked back, but my life has been nothing but wonderful since. Purest ride or die type of stuff, so hearing other infinitely small chance stories like this is true soul food.
