Everything beautiful is far away

"Once, a long, long time ago, all people had four legs and two heads. And then, the Gods threw down thunderbolts, and split everyone into two. Each half then had two legs, and one head. But the separation left both sides with a desperate yearning to be reunited, because they shared the same soul. And ever since then, all people spend their lives searching for the other half of their soul."

"When I'm with you, this emptiness that I have felt my entire life is gone."

This page is dedicated to my dear friend and hubby Oz! That's you, assuming you're reading this! If it's not, then feel free to read on and find out more about him! Oz, you are one of my favourite people ever, which is nuts seeing as we've properly made ourselves known to each other not too long ago. So, these words come to mind: "There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met." Why do you appear in my memories? Why were you in my dreams? Why do I remember holding your hand? Why do I miss you so much? You're one of the kindest, gentlest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and no one has a soul as beautiful as yours. I feel like I finally see the light, and you're a light in of yourself. My beacon, my sanctuary, one of the few rafts in life I cling onto. Somebody who treats me with the utmost respect, makes me feel whole again... The world could not be brighter, or maybe it could be; who's to say, knowing you? Everything about you, I adore, cherish, and will keep close to my heart for as long as I live. I hope to be with you until then... I love you!

Reader: below, I'll be listing a few things that tell you a little about Oz and what I love about him. I hope you can celebrate him as much as I do.

Oz is a wizard. Wizards are hard to come by these days, so I didn't believe it at first.. he does need to sit down every time but that's OK.
He really likes Terraria, Splatoon, Guilty Gear, Rain World, and a bunch of other games. Right now, he's trying to get me into Terraria, but our timezones forbid any easy cooperative play. We met through our shared love of Guilter (specifically the character Zappa), then found that we both really, really love the MOTHER series. Man after my own heart!
Speaking of timezones, Oz is a Kiwi, which means that he resides in the country furthest away from mine, so you can imagine how painful that is for us. When one of us wakes up, the other goes to sleep. We find a way around it. I'd love to go there and sightsee around Aotearoa with him someday; it's brimming with sublimity over there. Oz being there only makes it all the more worthwhile.
Oz is ridiculously talented! Have you seen his art? You should commission him when you get the chance. He's also working on a collaborative project called Radbound... I won't say too much with the state it's in, but it's really cool, and I'm excited to see how it all pans out.
If Oz was an animal, he would be a ferret.
