Joseph and I were together from the fall of 2015 to fall of 2016. This story took place a few months shy of a year ago, at the home of our friend Julie.
Joseph and I lived together in the middle of nowhere, an absolutely tiny house in the woods, at the foothills of Appalachia in Virginia with our two dogs. Visiting any friends was always upwards of an hour’s drive, so when we went out it was generally for the night.
Julie has been one of my best friends for about 7 years, she just finished college and is often out travelling the world doing residencies for her art; so, when she is back home, she just stays with her parents in a super cozy cabin near my hometown. Joseph was an introverted guy and often found himself choking around my super loud, bubbly friends, but he always really warmed up around Julie so I really enjoyed when the three of us would hang out and he could feel comfortable.
