I Almost Let Skinny Jeans Ruin Everything

Everyone has a story about almost missing the love of their life.

Mine…?

Involved skinny jeans.

When we first met online, I was excited and intrigued.

You were thoughtful.

Kind.

Emotionally mature.

Loved how handsome you looked on FaceTime calls.

Everything I’d been hoping to find.

Then we met.

You texted me, “The Eagle has landed!”

And I rushed out the front door, and saw you getting out your car…

Here you are…. this AMAZING man who sent me flowers the day before, and DROVE 7 hours to see me…

And there they were.

The jeans.

Excited to hug you, but those jean cut hard on my eyes.

Oh… he really has on skinny jeans.

I hugged you. Excited and nervous all at once.

But I looked down and saw those jeans up-close.

The vibe was giving…

“Aviation mechanic by day… European fashion influencer by weekend.”

Yeah, those vibes.

I remember thinking,

“Oh no… what if I can’t get past the jeans?”

Can you imagine?

After years of searching for the right person…

I was about to let denim make a life decision for me.

Thankfully…

Common sense eventually showed up.

Because it didn’t take long to realize something.

The jeans weren’t what I noticed anymore.

I noticed the way you listened.

The way you made me feel safe.

The flowers.

The kindness.

The patience.

The way you somehow made seven hours feel worth driving.

Funny how love works.

It has a way of making the things you once thought mattered…

Completely disappear.

Although…

For the record…

I’m still not convinced about those tortoise shell sunglasses.

Some things are simply too important to let go. 😆

❤️

Looking back now…

It’s honestly hilarious.

I came dangerously close to missing the greatest love of my life…

Because of skinny jeans.

And that might be the dumbest sentence I’ve ever written.

Thankfully…

I fell in love with the man wearing them.

And ya know what?

You look pretty damn hot in them too. 😘
