Six Years Together

Description

Warning, the following description will give thoughts of mine and my lovely's relationship and life over the past six years! You are warned!

Each image (going down in order) represents a year that we were together and important highlights described below. It's also drawn with how our fursonas looked in each of those years. Our anniversary was on January 12th, but we spent time just enjoying each other instead of drawing. So here is my drawn gift finished today:

..:: 2009 ::..

This was the year that we met, both online and in person. How did she get my attention? She Rickrolled me. After that? Well, she definitely had my attention when she told me she loved me on January 12th (the day we decided was our day). She told me she would be worth climbing as high as I could go to be with her. We had our first meeting in the summer, I flew from Texas to California to see her, and it admittedly it was not love at first sight. I had anticipated when you meet that person, you would just "know" or have sparks fly or something would say "hey, this is your one!" But that did not happen, and it wasn't until I flew back home for the first time, did I realize that the reason I didn't feel that, was because I had already chosen to love her. Why would I have a sudden feeling or "know" I loved her when I already did? I loved spending time with her. I remember thinking this was the person I wanted to be in my life.  I drove to see her again that December, and we cuddled and hugged into the New Year.

..:: 2010 ::..

This year was a challenge, for more reasons than I could possibly describe. We were still apart and met twice that year. She even came to visit me for the first time, and it was during that time that we had our first near death experience... Car rollover that is. It changed us. We felt closer than ever before, but at a cost. We "woke up" in this world, the experience unplugged us. There's no going back from that, but we started at the same time, together. Having spent so much time with her already, I knew I wanted her to always be with me in my life. It hurt to see her go back home after almost losing our lives together, but it only further let me know how important she was to me.

..:: 2011 ::..

Another challenging year. I drove up to get her. I got to celebrate her birthday for the first time with her in person and see her graduate High School. We managed the thousand plus mile trip back down in my car. As I finished my last semester of College, we both lived in my families home in a crammed little room. We shared some special time then, getting to know each other in person without worry of when we would see each other again. I got an internship that turned into a part time job, graduated, and my part time job helped me get promoted into a full time job. We were finally able to begin our life together.

..:: 2012 ::..

Our first year on our own. We moved into an apartment together, created our own meal plans, took care of our pets, got a kitty that walked into our life and a puppy that hopped out if it. We felt alone, but at least we were alone together. We had a lot of heart break that year, quite a few challenges. Leaving college and my family, feeling unplugged, I saw the world a bit more as it was and it started to get to me, make me depressed. Still held strong though. We were pretty good with money until my college loans kicked in. We wanted and needed friends. We missed friends we lost too. And we moved to another apartment at the end of the year due to issues in the first one we had. For our first year as "adults" on our own, it worked out pretty well. I couldn't imagine a better roommate, let alone a better friend and partner, my Amber.

..:: 2013 ::..

This year was tricky. We went through a lot. We met friends, lost others, had one even live with us for several months before moving to another country. My depression also started to get a bit worse, I had it before but for some reason it affected me a little more during this time. I might have gone insane without her, but we stuck together. I love her, I loved her even more when we moved to our current home. We adopted a puppy and started to work on our little family together. My job? Unfortunately, it was draining me, between job time shift changes and the intensive work that I did, I felt a bit sad. I didn't have much time to draw or write, and it gets to me. That's what happens when you move into the "real world" I guess. I'm glad she is able to pursue art though, that I'm able to provide enough for us to survive so that she can become an amazing artist. She already is, and I knew she would only get better.

..:: 2014 ::..

Perhaps one of our better years together. We didn't have to move to a new home, ours has worked quite well for us. I've since been working on my depression, because I want to feel all the things I know I can feel with her. Even my boss had changed at work and we moved into a new building, so career wise things were getting better. I was able to work on a comic to show an important change in my fursona, one I thought I needed since I don't feel like I did before. I was even able to make a fun (yet challenging to code) flash game that went a bit past due Easter. My car also had the transmission go out, which made it impossible to buy gifts for the holidays (took the bus to work and rode my bicycle home for three months till could save enough to fix it...). All in all, it was a pretty good year. I got to spend a lot of time with Amber, I even had the day shift at work so I could spend more time with her when I got home. By years end, through hard work, I was finally promoted at work. It's the night shift again, so I don't have as much time to do what I like to do and the shift probably won't change for some time (if ever, unless I pursued a different job somewhere else). I'm even feeling less depressed this year.


..:: 2015 Onward ::..

Six years we have spent our lives together. I'm not just hoping for six more, I'm hoping to just keep counting on and on. I know each year has its own difficulties, but we'll survive them together, we always do. I'm hopeful. I want to overcome this depression. I want to spend more time with the friends I've only recently reconnected with and hope to make more along the way. I even hope there's a chance of friendship with someone important to her, and that we can help them. I want to be closer to you Amber. I love you, and I always will. Thick and thin, ups and downs, I always want you around. And of course, I know I can be a butt sometimes, but I'm your butt. Fluffy and loving.
