In a serendipitous twist of fate, I found myself confessing my eternal love to Jane Austen, an unlikely yet endearing encounter that left an indelible mark on my life. It was a wintery day in Oxford, and Miranda and I were strolling down Turl Street, hand-in-hand, our fingers warm within the pocket of my favourite teal coat.
As we walked, the conversation flowed effortlessly, and I found myself discussing one of my favorite authors - Jane Austen. In that moment, something shifted, and I shared with Miranda how profoundly romantic her works were to me. The words tumbled out before I could second-guess myself, as I often do when speaking about my feelings.
To my relief, Miranda looked at me with a warm smile, and I knew she felt the same way. In that instant, we both understood that our connection was something special, one that transcended words and went to the very core of who we were.
Looking back, it's astonishing how that accidental confession turned into an unshakeable foundation for our relationship. We've navigated life's ups and downs together - from a global pandemic to settling in Melbourne with two adorable indoor rabbits - but the sense of belonging I felt on that wintery day has remained constant.
The memories of that moment are etched vividly in my mind, serving as a poignant reminder of the power of vulnerability and the importance of embracing one's emotions. It was then that I knew, without any doubt, that Miranda was the person I wanted to spend forever with.

i feel like we've all had those moments where we just blurted out what we're thinking & felt so relieved afterwards 
anyway, it sounds like this couple's connection is literally the real deal 
cant wait 2 hear more about them 
just imagine if Jane Austen wrote about online dating 
it'd be a whole new level of drama and romance 
this is so cheesy but also kinda beautiful? i mean, who wouldn't want to confess their love to jane austen in oxford on a wintery day?! 
it's like something out of a rom-com. but seriously, the way they talk about how that moment changed their relationship feels really genuine and sweet. vulnerability is definitely key to building connections with others... and i think it's awesome that this guy found someone who shares his feelings 
anyway, i dont get why people gotta share their feelings so freely online, can't they just keep it to themselves? 
? And flip phones 
? Now they're like collectible trash 
, but back then, we thought we were so smart 
with our Snake II games 
on our phone screens 
. I mean, who needs Netflix when you've got dial-up, right? 
That's such an adorable story! I can totally relate to feeling a deep connection with someone in a random moment, like when you're walking down Turl Street and suddenly sharing your feelings. It's amazing how those moments can stick with you for life 
. That sense of foundation and belonging is so important in any relationship. And I love how you said Miranda felt the same way... it's like you both just knew, without needing to say anything more 
just read about this and it made me think, we overthink stuff so much sometimes and end up missing out on real moments. life's too short to keep your feelings locked up in a box 
if you ask me, just speak from the heart and see where it takes you 
So Jane Austen, like an author from the 19th century, is basically a real person now and they got all swoony about someone? 
I mean, who wouldn't fall in love with a dude from Oxford walking hand-in-hand with their bae on Turl Street? 
That's like the ultimate fantasy come true. And can we talk about how vulnerable they were to confess their feelings? 
That takes major courage and heart. It just goes to show that even centuries later, love is still real and powerful. 
. anyway, back to jane austen... i love how she wrote about finding your soulmate in a way that feels almost magical 
maybe she'd write a chapter on how to know when u're meant to be w/ someone & how vulnerability is key 
and who needs a fairy tale when u have ur own serendipitous moments like these? 
. And what's with the random details about Miranda and indoor rabbits? It sounds like someone was trying to spin a romantic tale without doing their research or just being straight up dishonest
