Every Rose Has Its Thorn.... An ode to my wifey

This may look like “just another training vid” but it isn’t... GUSH POST ALERT. This video from yesterday means a lot to me simply because I’ve never seen a better example of

Jasmine and I’s relationship. READ BELOW THE NEAR SNUFF FILM SQUAT VID.

Here she is by my side and an active supporter of me “doing what I do” in our relationship. Here’s Tabor doing something stupid, dangerous, and crazy And Jasmine is right there to catch me if I fall. Those closest to us know that jaz and I have been through quite a bit together over the last 5 years. Our entire marriage since 2015 has been a challenge and in many ways neither one of us have handled situations regarding each other and our relationship properly... even after everything that we have been through we continue to get better and better together and it’s honestly been ALL TO HER CREDIT and can be seen perfectly in the video. She doesn’t just sit on the sidelines and “let” me do what I do. She’s right there fulfilling the role that’s needed no matter the situation. Even with everything we have been through I know that I don’t deserve her! My favorite part of the video is when I’m struggling in the hole of this squat you can see her look past the plates and look AT ME. She does not panic or attempt to take over. Now she may have been looking to see (and maybe hoping) if I was going to die during this attempt lol but she lets me grind, struggle, and finish the process however I need to. And then when I’m about to collapse and fall under the pressure she’s right there to take the lead and guide me through to the finish. There’s been a lot of times through the years that neither of us have been the person we should have been but throughout everything the story is the same.... she doesn’t panic, she doesn’t take over, and she’s there to support me no matter what I’m going through even if she herself has been a driving for my struggle. People always say “count your blessings” well I’m not that smart so thankfully I don’t have to count that high. She’s number 1 and she’s 100% my hero, my biggest fan, my biggest supporter, and my PERSON. I tell people all the time that there’s very few truly awesome people that you meet in the journey of life so when you find a diamond in the rough you goddamn better well let them know because they may be struggling more than you’ll ever know and just need an encouraging “nod” to confirm their own mind on how awesome they truly are.... I think in relationships we often find it hard and neglect really letting our “person” know how fricking awesome they truly are and how much you cherish them and I am no exception to this statement. Covid/politics/life right now has a lot of us struggling, both as individuals and as couples.... I’d encourage you to really take a moment today and thank your person and let them know how much they mean to you today! In relationships we often tend to become self centered and almost like a machine. Too often our attitude towards our person tends to become negative and resentful simply because we neglect to stop and smell the roses.... if this is you and your other right now then just remember that the stem of the rose will prick the living shit out of you, draw blood, and cause pain if grabbed too hastily but damn the smell of that rose is truly 100% worth it!
