It was worth not waiting so long.
The day had come.
It was time to share the website with you.
It was sooner than I had originally thought I would, and I thought more time would pass before the reveal, but honestly….
on this particular day, it just felt right to do so.
I write a sweet message in a card and anticipate you coming home later that day after work.
The rest of the day together was so fun.
Perfect temperatures.
Lots of walking outside. Finding a hidden gem of Gwinnett parks to spend the afternoon exploring.
Coffee from our new favorite place.
Honestly, it was Celamoria vibes all the way.
I was so nervous all day, knowing I had this suprise waiting.
We were having so much fun, basking in the glow of our love, and I kept hinting, “And the day is still not over,” anticipating the reveal.
As the night came, and we lay in bed, doing what we do best…. Zillow scrolling on your laptop.
And the time had finally come. (Again, I was so nervous! lol)
I play our Celamoria song to set the tone, and hand you the card. Your eyes instantly well up with tears.
I’m puzzled, “But you have not even read it yet!”
Your reply was gentle. “But I already know it is going to be wonderful.”
Yes… you did call that one, indeed.
You read the message in the card and see the magic: Celamoria.com.
Your eyes light up, you mouth, “no way!” and instantly type the domain on your laptop.
And front and center, you see the gift I have poured so much energy and love into.
I can see you taking it all in, feeling overwhelmed, shocked, feeling excited, feeling loved, and feeling very emotional all at once.
You admire the photo cards. You scan the titles. You eventually notice the excerpts. You scroll through the page counter, not knowing exactly where to start.
“Wait, there is another page?!” Your eyes beam. You choke back tears.
And I did too. Watching you in that moment was so priceless.
You see, I really wanted to write you more post before the reveal.
I dreamed of the site having hundreds of posts the first time you saw it.
But in that moment, when you saw 8 pages and ~70 letters and counting, I knew it was indeed “good enough”. More than enough. And my expectations of myself were just that… of my own.
We hugged; we held each other. You mentioned you felt so much healing on multiple levels… multiple lifetimes.
I know you mentioned you feel so loved, but you have to understand the space I am in: being in love with someone and being in such a place to share that type of love to begin with.
It’s like we are both coming full circle.
And as the days has passed, I love hearing you talk about the letters.
I love how you have taken your time reading them.
You take them in and ponder my words that are just for you.
I know you are excited to read all of them,
and while it is tempting to binge them at once, like a Netflix series–you don’t.
You allow some space to savor before moving to the next one.
There are some that I can’t wait for you to read, simply because I know you will find them funny or very meaningful. I even have my favorite letters too.
And then there are those I have stored in my mind that I have not had a chance to write…. eventually, I will.
Before sharing the site, I worried the fun would go away once you knew.
But honestly, the part I didn’t know that was waiting for me on the other side of the reveal was being able to witness YOUR experience of receiving….
Your happiness.
Your excitement.
And your fond appreciation.
And to witness that in real time, is like falling in love with all of our chapters all over again.
I am glad I didn’t wait to give you this gift….
It was definitely worth not waiting so long to share. ❤️
Reveal date: September 7, 2026.
