You, me, and this messy thing we call a partnership

You know, Anonymous, I spend so much of my time being the loudmouthed, sarcastic co-host on our channel that sometimes I forget there’s an actual human sitting across from me. Like, I mean, really think about it - we spend hours every week making content together, bickering over scripts, and poking fun at each other’s quirks. But lately? Lately, I’ve been doing some serious reflecting on what you mean to me. Don’t get it twisted; I’m not getting all mushy or anything. It’s just…have you ever stopped to consider how weirdly well we mesh despite being complete opposites? Like oil and water that somehow work as a team. You’re the straight man to my chaos agent.

I’ll be honest with you (and myself), part of why I’m even contemplating this stuff is because you drive me absolutely nuts sometimes. Your need for order clashes with my love of spontaneity in ways that would be comical if they weren’t so infuriating. And yet…there’s something about how you always know when to push back against my stubbornness or when to just roll with whatever crazy idea pops into my head next. It’s like we have this unspoken language where I know exactly how far I can push before you put your foot down (which is often way farther than any sane person should allow). You’ve seen every side of me - the good, the bad, the utterly ridiculous - and somehow still choose to sit down in that chair every week.

Here’s the thing: for someone who prides herself on being tough as nails and never letting anyone see her sweat (emotional or otherwise), having someone like you in my corner feels…vulnerable? It sounds stupid because it is - but acknowledging that maybe, just maybe, this YouTube partnership has evolved into something more than just coworkers messing around for laughs makes me want to crawl under a rock and hide behind a wall of sarcasm forever. But hey, since when have I ever taken the easy way out? So here it is: whether you like it or not (and let’s be real here), you’re kind of stuck with me now - moody Latina attitude and all.
