The Love Lock Series: The Stack of Letters Chapter

What does it mean to be deeply known by someone? To know them deeply and have the sense of safety that no matter what storms try to weather your love, the foundation is stronger. Sadie Wilbur couldn’t help but describe falling in love with her boyfriend Tyler as comforting and secure. Being beautifully known by someone is a magical experience, one that in my mind elicits images of stacks of handwritten letters. Detail, care, slowness, and intention. A unique handwriting of their own. In a world where it feels like dating is minimized to a swipe, Sadie and Tyler’s relationship is a timeless romance. 

“I remember at the point when Tyler and I had been dating for six months, we had said we loved each other. Before then I felt like it was so crazy to know someone that well and be known the same way in return. It felt like the most I would ever know him. Now, I can say a year and a half later that that feeling just continues to grow even more.”

Everyday Sadie falls more and more in love, provided with the assurance that the longer she and Tyler know each other their love strengthens. Sadie attributes a lot of her perspective on a healthy kind of love to her parents, who have set an example of how safe love should feel. The love they passed on to Sadie and her sister pours into the ways they experience love in all kinds of relationships. 

Sadie and Tyler are a beautiful example of the kind of love that books get written about. Stacks upon stacks of letters, the more they learn about each other, the more their love grows.
