01 / HOW LUCKY ARE WE?
One little beginning. So much to love.
It hasn’t been forever. But it’s already my favourite story.
01✧
18 JUNE → 18 JULY
The butterflies.
June 18 gave me a date to keep close. The beginning of us. The beginning of having one very particular person on my mind. You, Teddy.
and oh, it was.02♡
18 JULY → 18 AUGUST
The little things.
Somewhere between the conversations and all your lovely yapping, you became the person I wanted to tell everything. Even the things that weren’t really news.
you started feeling like home.03❀
18 AUGUST → 18 SEPTEMBER
The choosing you.
September 18. Three whole months of us. I’m grateful for you, Ajokemi, and excited for all the ordinary days we still get to make special.
again. and again. and again.
02 / ONE GIRL, SO MANY SWEET NAMES
In every little word, it’s you I mean.
Teddy when I want to be soft. Ajokemi when my heart has a little extra to say.
so many ways to say it. one favourite person. ♡
03 / IN CASE YOU EVER FORGET
It’s the way you…
Little reminders. Just tap a card.
04 / WORDS FROM MY HEART
A little letter, a lot of love.
For my favourite yapper, from your very willing audience.
this one’s for you ↴
PERSONAL & VERY HEARTFELTNO. 003 ♡
My Teddy, my Ajokemi,
On June 18, our little story began. Now it’s September 18, and I get to say something that still makes me smile: three months of us. Three months of having you to love.
You are my favourite yapper, and I mean that with my whole heart. I want the long story. The tiny details. The part you remembered halfway through another part. The “one more thing” that turns into five more things. I like hearing what goes on in that lovely head of yours.
But I hope you know this too: you never have to fill the silence to keep my attention. On the days you’re tired, quiet, or don’t quite have the words, you are still my Teddy. Still wanted. Still so very loved.
Ìfẹ́ mi. My love. Ayé mi. My world. Ọkàn mi. My heart. I keep finding sweet names for you because just one never quite feels like enough.
I love the thought of more ordinary days with you. Checking in. Laughing at something ridiculous. Listening properly. Learning the little things that make you feel cared for, and remembering them. That’s the kind of love I want to keep giving you.
Ajokemi, thank you for being part of my life. You make my heart soft in a way I’m very happy about. I hope being loved by me feels gentle, safe, and full of room to be exactly who you are.
Mo nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ. I love you. Happy three months, my sweetest Teddy.
All my love, and all my listening ears ♡

05 / A LITTLE EXTRA, BECAUSE IT’S YOU
For whenever you need a little love.
A pocketful of sweet things. Pick one, Teddy.
A NOTE FOR MY FAVOURITE GIRL
Teddy, tell me the long version. The side story, the extra details, the “wait, I forgot something.” I want all of it.

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
Three months down. So much us to go.
Mo nífẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ, Ajokemi. I love you. Today, and into our next chapter.
