I try to do something different with each one of these, so I tried to make the patterning on the clothes more distinct.

I'm kind of abrasive. I don't always like to be touched, and I definitely am not down for spontaneous cuddles. I don't really do much public affection, and I don't really express my emotions verbally. It's strange when I say things like "I miss you" or "I love you" because I don't SAY them. I think them, but I expect him to know that I feel that way without expressing it.

He does. He gets me.

But I know it doesn't hurt to say it too. I'm trying harder every day to be as vocal as possible with him about how I feel, even if it's hard for me to express that side of me.
