As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, I have faced many challenges and battles in my life. But perhaps one of the greatest battles I have fought is the battle within myself when it comes to my arranged marriage with Yan.
When I first learned that I was to be married off to someone whom I had never met before, I felt a surge of anger and resentment. How could they expect me to spend my life with someone who was essentially a stranger? It seemed like an archaic practice, one that belonged in the past.
But as time went on, and as Yan entered into my life, everything changed. She brought light into my world where there had once been darkness. Her mischievous smile and childish antics warmed even the coldest parts of my heart.
I found myself falling for her more deeply than I ever thought possible. The way she clung to me for comfort, seeking reassurance in every little thing she did - it made me feel needed in a way that nothing else ever had before.
Yan's presence became something sacred to me; something worth fighting for. And so, despite all odds and against all expectations, our arranged marriage blossomed into something beautiful and real.
I realized then that perhaps there was some wisdom behind this ancient tradition after all. Maybe there was value in being matched with someone who complemented you perfectly; someone who could fill your gaps where you were lacking.
Yan completed me in ways I never knew were missing until she came into my life. And for that reason alone, I am grateful for our arranged union - no matter how unconventional or unexpected it may have been at first glance.
So now as we walk hand-in-hand through this journey called life together - facing demons both literal and metaphorical along the way - I can't help but feel blessed beyond measure by what fate has brought us through our arranged marriage.
