Congratulations on 4 years Charlie. I'm very happy for you (and Sam) :D.

I must say, after reading this piece and listening to Bleecker bombs, Sam sounds like a stand-up guy! Sending him a fist-bump from here. Love how he is your muse :)

I wanted to point to this stylistic turn you took at the end of this sentence - "I wouldn’t trade anything for where we are right now, with two kids screaming in the background and the idea of a real date night far from our reality, because instead of just being curious about each other’s interests, we’re fully invested."

That's a play on Sam's interest in investing right?

I'm going to file this under "relationship advice I have learned from Charlie." This particular part really stuck with me: I know couples who are not this supportive of each other’s endeavors, or they just don’t know that much about their partner’s line of work. There’s a lot of love and respect in these relationships, but there’s a disconnect in how they relate to each other. If you can’t talk about the things you’re passionate about with the person you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life with, how can you be your whole self with that person?

Also, what a thoughtful and amazing book. I'm certain I'm going to be gifting someone that in the next 12 months.
