An unlikely coincident with a really great guy

I've been dating this guy for a while and recently he came over and noticed all the post-it notes stuck to my desk. He asked what they were and I awkwardly explained to him that when I was younger I used to be really insecure so as a way to help myself through it, when people complimented me I'd write it down on a post-it note and stick it to my desk. It was just my way of reminding myself that I didn't need to feel as insecure as I did. It worked well but I feel kind of dumb about it sometimes, more so that I sometimes still do need to look at them and remind myself that I'm not the worst. I told him this too and instead of answering me he got out his wallet and pulled out a piece of paper. I unfolded it and it was a list of all these nice things all his friends had said about him. He told me he hadn't needed to look at it in a while but he still likes to keep it on him just in case he needs it. It probably sounds dumb but it made me feel so love-struck with him, he's already such an amazing guy but just the grand unlikely coincident that we both went through the same thing and managed it in essentially the exact same way? God, I think I fell for him even harder than I already had in that moment, I never want him out of my life
