Step into my world
Shook me to the core
Voice like an angel, I've never heard before
Here in front of me
Shining so much brighter than I have ever seen
Life can be so mean
But when he goes I know he doesn't leave
The truth is finally breaking through
Two worlds collide when I'm with you
Our voices rise and soar so high
We come to life when we're
In perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
You set me free
You and me together is more than chemistry
Love me as I am
I'll hold your music here inside my hands
You're more to me, we're everything
Our voices rise and soar so high
We come to life when we're
In perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
I feel your rhythm in my heart, yeah
You are my brightest, burning star, woah-woah
I never knew a love so real (So real)
We're heaven on earth, melody and words
And when we are together we're
In perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
Woah, woah
You're more to me
We create a perfect harmony
Lyrics written by Madison Reyes and Charlie Gillespie, for Julie and the Phantoms

Love’s power isn’t proven in grand beginnings - it’s revealed in the quiet aftermath, where real life unfolds. It’s there in the pauses filled with doubt, in the days where forgiveness has to stretch farther than pride, in the slow work of mending what once cracked.
Love survives not because it’s untouched, but because it dares to touch everything - pain, joy, the unspoken corners of a heart learning to trust again. It doesn’t glow only when things are easy; it radiates through the storms, in the choice to stay, to return, to rebuild.
It grows not in perfection, but in persistence. And that’s how love prevails - not through spectacle, but through the gentle, relentless grace of choosing one another, again and again.
- MD
I didn’t speak aloud. You wouldn’t have heard me from all the way across the pages. But I watched the ducks move like gentle punctuation marks, and in my mind, you were nearby. Just far enough to miss the hush, but close enough for me to write it down for you.
The swan kept gliding past the birdhouse, unbothered, elegant, as if trained in the choreography of quiet evenings. And I thought of you-twilight felt like a soft promise kept.
My hand rested on the arm of the chair, fingers tracing the old scratch in the wood. You’d tease me about things like that-you always notice the smallest things. You'd say it looks like a heart someone gave up on carving all the way through.
I imagine you in that cafe booth you like best, sipping something warm and too sweet, already tangled in tomorrow’s ideas. You're probably wearing that slightly wrinkled shirt that makes you feel romantic, even when you say you're not.
I send you soft goodnights. In the air between this pond and wherever you're tucked away.
I don’t know if you’ll dream about me tonight, but I’ll dream about you - your laugh as punctuation, your breath as narration. I’ll let the evening wind itself down and fold the silence like a note in your pocket.
-Love Letters to Mystery.

The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is located in Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia, about a half-hour drive from Tbilisi. The current church—featuring Romanesque stone walls, remaining frescoes, and gold-framed icons—dates from 1010-1029, but the site has been the spiritual heart of the country since the 4th century. According to tradition, the robe of Christ is buried here; hence, it is the main sanctuary of the Georgian Orthodox Church and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. During our visit, a traditional wedding was taking place: guests in festive attire gathered. You can see the bride and groom—both in the central nave of Svetitskhoveli, the bride in white with a veil. The priest, dressed in red, read prayers for the union from the service book. The two men to the left (in tuxedos) were holding lit candles. They symbolized the friends of the groom and testified that the couple was walking in the light of Christ. The woman directly to the bride's right (in the light blue dress) was also a witness. The woman in the silver-gray dress held the bride's bouquet and acted as the maid of honor. The priest sang in Old Georgian, the candles flickered, and the sound of Psalm 128 filled the space. Georgians sing in three-part harmony a capella; the echo in Svetitskhoveli made it almost heavenly. The atmosphere was intense and powerful—a unique blend of holiness and human connection.
It must be said that the temples of Mtskheta are historically the most important in Georgia. Christianity in Georgia began here in the 4th century. The “Great Cathedral” of Svetitskhoveli stands at the heart of Mtskheta. For many Georgians it is a cherished place to marry, surrounded by a wondrous world of tradition and antiquity.

De huidige kerk—met romaanse stenen wanden, resterende fresco’s en goudomrande iconen—dateert uit 1010-1029, maar de plek is al sinds de 4e eeuw het geestelijke hart van het land. Volgens de traditie ligt hier het kleed van Christus begraven; daarom is het de hoofd-heiligdom van de Georgisch-Orthodoxe Kerk en staat het op de UNESCO-Werelderfgoedlijst. Tijdens ons bezoek vond er een traditionele bruiloft plaats: gasten in feestelijke kleding verzamelden zich. Je ziet de bruid en bruidegom—beiden in het middenschip van Svetitskhoveli, de bruid in het wit met een sluier. De priester, gehuld in rood, las uit het dienstboek de gebeden voor de verbintenis. De twee mannen links (in smoking) hielden brandende kaarsen vast. Zij stonden symbool voor de “vrienden van de bruidegom” en getuigen dat het paar in het licht van Christus treedt. De vrouw direct rechts van de bruid (in de lichtblauwe jurk) was ook getuige. De vrouw in de zilvergrijze jurk hield het bruidsboeket vast en fungeerde als bruidsmeisje. De priester zong in het Oud-Georgisch, kaarsen flakkerden, en het geluid van Psalm 128 vulde de ruimte. Georgiërs zingen driestemmig a capella; de echo in Svetitskhoveli maakte het bijna hemels. De sfeer was intens en krachtig—aangrijpende mix van heiligheid en menselijke verbondenheid.

There’s something so special about being seen—really seen—by people who know you, trust you, and aren’t afraid to just be close.
To the friends in this series:
Thank you for grounding me in trust, for holding space in such an open, playful, and genuine way. You reminded me that vulnerability can be soft and strong at the same time.
This photo says it all: comfort, closeness, and the kind of connection that goes beyond words.
Would you want to see how the rest unfolded?
