Time together is time well spent. Especially when the one you’re with is able to love and appreciate you for who and what you are.

Today is Lucca’s birthday. The two of us have been on quite a journey since we first got to know each other over a decade ago. To celebrate the occasion, I asked Friar to create this image to best illustrate what makes Lucca more than just a friend to me.
***
Feelings are very important. What is equally important is considering the feelings of others. For me, it was my feelings towards Lucca’s ability to never give up on that better tomorrow that got me to start seeing him as more than just a friend. It is not often you come across someone you can follow and feel inspired by beyond a shared interest. Knowing that nothing ever kept Lucca down for long and how he never gave off an aura of being a victim of life’s circumstances helped me many times when I would be weathering my own life’s trials and tribulations. Knowing you are not alone on that journey to find happiness both inside and out is much like being a part of a team that can only win if everyone is in it to win it. I’ve gotten to know a lot of people in the community that I’m glad to be teammates with. Lucca just so happens to be one of my star players since the events that took place in my life between 2016.

Lucca has always had a really special way to ‘fly his colors’ that made me feel like he was more than an artist. The works he put up for commission after I had lost my eyesight were some of the first that I came to appreciate for love, comfort, and family. The YCHs that I have gotten and shared all feel like I actually did see them with my own eyes. Each YCH of Yosh done by Lucca grew the world of my dino-duckling character, Yosh, in ways that provided so much more to his life than those moments I’d create through storytelling. It was like Lucca knew exactly what I had hoped to accomplish through developing Yosh as my avatar without either of us ever having much of an opportunity to talk about what made us feel happy.
We first started to talk over the phone in the summer of 2021. Not many realize how my online personality is largely the same as how I am offline. This even includes myself as I tend to quack quack quack quack with high volume and speed until I either catch myself, or am informed that I am the human equivalent of a backhoe driving full speed towards an oncoming bicycle. Thankfully, Lucca proved himself quite the foreman through being able to get me to turn off my quacking engine, hop out from the overthinking and overcompensating cab controls, and meeting him where we both could communicate without making each other feel as if the other was not taking our individual feelings into consideration.
Now that I have been able to talk with Lucca on a near daily basis for over an hour at a time, I have found that we make for quite the pair. He is my True Heart to my Noble Heart. Where I struggle with sharing my feelings, he is able to comfortably assist in allowing me to be me. So many of my fears regarding being in another relationship have long gone away all due to just how much Lucca has shown me that my feelings matter and how, together, we can both flourish beyond what our individual idle minds try to make us feel otherwise.

Lucca’s birthday marks less than 13 days before we can be together to do what we each do best. This being able to show a deep sense of affection through our shared passion for cuddles, snuggles, hugs, and kisses to stare down our minds’ fears, be happy in who we are and what we do, and not ever worry of being in a place of isolated solitude brought about by the words and actions of others.
With Lucca, I can be 100% myself. He is also able to be 100% of himself with me, too. There is no shame, oppression, sacrifice, and/or any other self-esteem crushing catch to our heartfelt relationship. He loves me for me and I love him for him.
Some may ask how such a relationship is possible. The answer is the same as what we were taught by ‘The Care Bears’ in the 1980s. We comfortably care and share our feelings with each other. We may find times that the other can be a little too much to handle, but it is not long before all is well through knowing we each have no desire to ever allow a misunderstanding, character quirk, etc. ruin what the simple sharing and caring for each other’s feelings can easily make better while providing insight not only for our ever-growing relationship, but to our interactions with people beyond ourselves.
I love you, Lucca. I am proud to be who I am with you and shall ever be your noble hearted horse who embraces all the she in me to love all of you.

Thank you, egg brother. *Crinklesnugs* It is truly amazing to see how 10 years of crossing paths has brought our individual journeys together towards a better tomorrow for both of us.

This relationship is really going to help me be an even better dino-duckling through taking all that you, Oxnard, and other pals have worked hard to help teach me over all these years. It is the best knowing how, regardless of what is said in textbooks, studies, etc. how it is quite possible to continue to learn and understand more aspects of not just the world around us, but that which makes us who we are on the inside, too. :)

Oh wow, happy birthday Lucca! Hehe, you both got it in the same month! :3
It's always nice to reflect back on this stuff, how folks met, stayed together, and how we bond further. nwn
I hope they enjoy the art and nice words, Friar did well with the carebear artwork, all handhold-y with rainbow padding in front of both of them as they walk together all happy. Hoping the same for you two, buddy~!

*Snugs* Thank you, Oxnard. It truly feels like a new beginning for me. Lucca has really helped me to see so many things that I've yet to discover, or truly understand. Kind of like how you helped me to conquer homophobia and fear of negative judgment for expressing myself in ways that, more frequently than not, result in harsh backlash when it is just an attempt to better know my own full potential of myself while learning to understand the world around me.
I also like how you noticed we have the same month of entrance into this big wide world of ours. From a 'Hamtaro' / 'Astronomical' standpoint, we are also both 'Pisces'. The twin fish that swim closely together within a circle. *Glub Glub Bubble Glub*

Thank you for all your support, my Ham-Ticki-Tastic bestest of best friends. It is always a delight to share in our respective life adventures.

I know we will be happy together. I enjoy having a partner who is able to help me grow without all the shaming I had gone through over so many years. I look forward to improving upon a number of unhealthy communication and time management skills through his help.

I also look forward to not feeling so lonely that I continue to fall behind on what I enjoy doing just because things did not work out like I had hoped them to. It's amazing what having a companion can do for one's overall well-being. I just do so much better when I have someone to confide and cuddle with over relying solely on independent self-soothing techniques.
