Our Story โค๏ธ
In 2020, when I was 15, I met Shrey, who was 16, online through an app called Reach. He was from India ๐ฎ๐ณ, and I was from Finland ๐ซ๐ฎโtwo teenagers living thousands of kilometres apart who had no idea that a simple online conversation would change our lives.
We quickly became part of each otherโs everyday lives. We spent almost every day talking, video calling, playing Fortnite, watching movies, and getting to know each other. Because of our age and the COVID pandemic, meeting each other wasnโt possible, so for three years, our relationship existed through a screen.
Then, in February 2023, Shrey moved from India to Germany to study. He had been expected to go to Canada, where he already had family, but he convinced his parents to let him choose Germany insteadโa country where he knew nobody and didnโt speak the language.
A few weeks later, after finishing my final exams, I flew from Finland to Germany to meet him for the first time. After three years of waiting, we were finally in the same place. I stayed for a month before returning to Finland for my graduation.
In June, Shrey flew to Finland for my graduation and met my family for the first time. Soon after, I made the decision to move to Germany at 18 so we could finally start our life together. We first lived in a shared flat before finding a small apartment of our own.
In November 2024, we travelled to India together, where I finally met Shreyโs relatives and got to see the country he came from.
Then, in May 2025, we found out that I was 12 weeks pregnant. Suddenly, our story was becoming a family story. We spent months searching for a bigger home, and just one month before our baby was due, we finally found one.
On November 1st, 2025, we gave the keys to our old apartment backโand on that exact same day, our son was born.
