This piece really moved me! It also brought to mind Gena’s Fantastic Builders series. Matt, your writing has that same incisive clarity and rhythm. It’s like you captured the essence of the storyteller herself! Huge fan.

this is touching, especially as someone who’s felt flattened by the manic pixie dream girl trope in connections past—the way you articulate the depth and complementarity of your dynamic is so heartening. a very happy anniversary to you both! ☺️

>I didn’t know, before I got together with Gena, that I wanted a relationship dynamic that had the flavor of an episode of Frasier. But now it’s the salt of my life.

hadn't thought of this until now, and it makes complete sense

This is the sweetest practical joke I have ever seen. I didn't know that was even possible. Happy Anniversary to you both!

Y’all’s wedding sailing around the Statue of Liberty (and my weird walk from Brooklyn to New Jersey to attend) is one of those happy memories I’ll never forget. Glad to hear you two are doing well.
