Bryce and I were talking yesterday about our relationship, and how happy we are to get to go to school together. He said something that really stuck with me. When discussing his opinion on Women reaching their dreams, we were talking about his stance as a feminist. To us, feminism isn't about making men and women the same, it's about empowering women, and allowing them to do whatever they set their minds to. Trusting them with those most important works with which they alone can make a difference. It's about trusting women to be good and do good, not limiting their impact on the work but instead enhancing and multiplying their goodness. We're a team, and our goal is for both of us to soar.
Bryce has a unique perspective from having 6 sisters, and a mother who raised him. He's been around women his whole life. And as such, he's my biggest fan. He knows I have a lot to give. He said his ultimate goal in life is to be sure that I am satisfied, to be sure I follow my dreams and have what I need,
because I'm "his one". His one shot, chance, person, all of the above. His one to make soar.
Just hearing that made my heart melt.
I love that idea of being his one. He's my biggest cheerleader; he cheers for me and motivates me, listens when things are hard, and helps me to find solutions when problems arise. With him, I can breathe fire. I'm his one who, when supported by him can affect generations for good. I'm grateful for a husband who sees the greatness in me and constantly works to build me up and make me strong, who allows me to be good for more than just for him or our family but for the world around me. With him, my touch is limitless. He's my one too.
