Most of you will probably not understand...

Most of you will probably not understand (unless you are a hardcore fan of something, and then you might).  Some really special polishes from my favorite indie maker, Tonic Polish, were releasing today.  They contained a pigment which was discontinued years ago that people who are into nail polish refer to as "Unicorn Pee" because it is so beautiful and rare. I had reminders set in my phone so I wouldn't miss the release (because I knew they would sell out), but I slept right through them.  😳

I woke up to Shaun texting me, (he'd also just texted Shadow to wake me up), and he was waiting at the website for me in case I didn't get up for some reason.  Thankfully, they got me woken up.  He sent me his card number and made sure I got "The Whole Summer Shebang!," which is a collection of all of the new-release polishes.

I wish I didn't have to wait 2 years (until I finish school) to marry that one.  He is legit my best friend and every day I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

I know this is mushy and I'm super sorry if you get tired of hearing it, but my life has been so much better since he's been in it.  I've always been tough and thought of myself as a survivor, but now I feel like I am thriving rather than just surviving.  I feel like I might finally get close to reaching my potential one of these days, and Shaun is the one who gives me the confidence and support that I need to do it.  I really wish I had better words to express how grateful I am.

I know this post started with nail polish and ended with me thinking about my life's potential, but seriously - Shaun has my back in all the ways and he never ceases to make me feel special or appreciated.  I wish everyone could experience that, for real.  ❤
