    I was watching this video and I was just enamored by your story and grinning the entire time. I was thinking about my own love story with my husband that I met nearly 18 years ago on a random night when I was dared to do something and it just happened to be the same night my husband over 30 miles away was dared to do the same thing and voila, we are now an incredible love story and thinking about the journal that I had when I met him and our first couple of dates together and when you were saying "I just knew..." I felt that. I know what that's like. When you just KNOW! I knew the minute our eyes connected. I remember those all-night phone calls...just endlessly talking and not wanting to hang up. I remember those first dates where it feels so...natural to be walking along with that person next to you as if they were always there. Or rather, that space for them alone was always there. We too got married on the anniversary of the day we met, just a few years later due to financial reasons. It seems no other date could hold a candle to that one. I was tempted to write this comment, but when the laptop noise interrupted, my long-distance friend texted me at the exact same moment I was watching this video and I laughed out loud so hard. Your videos make it feel like I'm talking to a you over coffee. Your love for journaling and your energy is so pure and refreshing. Thank you for your channel. Thank you for your content and the energy you give to the world.

    oh. my. gosh.
    I met my boyfriend in this EXACT SAME journal with the exact same cover and brand and everything. It used to be my mother’s but she never wrote in it and gave it to me. But I had been in that journal for two months before I met my current boyfriend. This is the most uncanny video I’ve seen in the most pleasant way. I genuinely believe that it cannot be a coincidence. Unfortunately, a year or so ago, I had a sort of journaling protest and I lost many of them in a move. This one included, you’ll just have to take my word for it. But this took me genuinely off guard. Of course, the town and year coincidence isn’t the same aha, we’re ‘00s kids in PA. But I still think there has to be something special about this

    Wow…chills, tearing up, and grinning through this whole magical video!! 💚 Food for thought: I do this in my own life, but do you ever think sometimes what if you could go back to the shy gas station Tina and nudge her arm and say with a wink “you’re going to marry him someday” and maybe even show her a glimpse into her happy future because she obviously wouldn’t believe you. Or when younger Tina showed up for the party and you could again say with a nudge and a wink “this will be your in-laws place”. I think about moments in my own life like that and how surreal that would be! One more food for thought: when I thrift I always hope to stumble across a magical treasure, and what if that’s what happened…a magical journal called out to your soul, and once you opened it and started journaling in it, binding you together, the journal and Fate/the Universe set in motion events that would change your life and love forever 💚

    • @OverallAdventures
      @OverallAdventures  2 роки тому +3

      Awww thank YOU friend! I definitely think about those *wink wink* moments and gosh what I would have done back then if I would have known! It really would be soooo surreal. And YES - I love that approach to thrifting. Sometimes before I thrift, I try to have a moment/prayer where I ask the universe for whatever it is I need to find. This was definitely one of those moments for me! Thanks again for the video idea and thoughtful, thoughtful comment

How funny the Notebook was the movie you were watching and your notebook was the thing that pulled the story all together. So magical.

I was only a little disappointed.....I thought we'd get to see a close-up wedding picture so we could get a better look at that gorgeous dress you wore!
    My love story is an interesting one, too.....one thing about it I'll share is this : I have 1 sister & she is just shy of 17 yrs. younger than I am.Well ! Talk about weird ! The man I married .....his mom had 1 sister & she was 17 yrs. older than she was !! (neither of us have/had brothers).
    By the way, totally agree w/you about the dusty cornflower blue color.....LOVE it....& the cobalt blue of your dress. WOWser.

    Funny story.. I had a dream that I met this dark haired dark eyed biker boy and married him yet at the time blondes were my “type”. Everyone thought I’d be with a blonde preppy guy. Little did I know.. the boy from my dreams LITERALLY bumps into me at a concert years later.. and the rest was history! Biker boy with dark hair and dark eyes. I was speechless and knew (in that moment) WAY before he did that he was mine. LOL.

    I honestly don’t know what else to say after this video. However what I can say is that Tina and her husband could be fated soulmates right from the very beginning. I feel like I’ve stumbled on way too many soulmate readings and they pretty much agreed on the same thing: You may have met your special someone in the past, but somehow, the universe or whatever divine forces have seemingly joined together to bring you back to that one special person whom you considered to be the most unforgettable person you’ve ever encountered in the past. Now I’m slowly starting to believe that the magic of reuniting with your soulmate is in fact real. As Tina said, it’s really meant to happen. Thank you for sharing us this wonderful story, Tina! Love stories are precious. It’s kinda like this treasure that you want to cherish for the rest of your life.

    I'm gonna admit something I don't tell most people because I feel safe on this channel and able to share. I feel like we're all just having a big group meditation session sharing our feelings' and emotions' (I am so in awe of the fact that you were able to share something so personal, thank you, this is a truly beautiful story of your love). I write my journals as letters mostly with the intention that when i have children and they're older, if they ask what I was like, I don't have to come up with some have hearted version of what I remember in the moment, I can crack a notebook that has my personality and thoughts from the period their asking about on it. I want to take inspiration from your video and write a lot about my fiance and I's story so they can know how mommy and daddy met and fell in love, I have a few entries from when we first started dating but I lapsed on my journaling for awhile when we were trying to figure out if we were dating. What do you guys think are important moments to capture on paper to tell our love story to our future children?
