Eugène de Beauharnais to his wife Auguste of Bavaria on occasion of their eight wedding anniversary:
14 January, 1814
I only need to think of this day, my dear Auguste, to know that Providence protects my life. What happiness, what charms I owe to this 14 January which united my destiny to that of the most beautiful, of the best, of the most virtuous of women. It’s to spare your modesty that I avoid repeating this truth to you; because everyday I feel it and I would like to be able to love you even more, to love you as much as you deserve it. Goodbye, my good friend, may we both live to celebrate fifty years of marriage. And may Heaven above all be good enough not to call one of us without the other!
Auguste's reply to Eugène:
15 January, 1814
Isn’t my fortune enviable? I am the happiness of the one I would sacrifice my life for…; all my illusion is focused on belonging to the best of men; if it were possible, I would love him even more. And because God has been this far so good to us, I hope that he will call us to him together; even so, I pray to him daily to not let me live for more time than you.
ON THIS DAY, IN 1806, EUGÈNE DE BEAUHARNAIS, VICEROY OF ITALY, MARRIED PRINCESS AUGUSTE OF BAVARIA IN A RELIGIOUS CEREMONY. They'd had a civil wedding the day before. Eugène was the son of Empress Josephine and her first husband Alexandre de Beauharnais. Auguste was the eldest daughter of King Maximilian I of Bavaria and his first wife Princess Auguste Wilhelmine of Hesse-Darmstadt. Bavaria had only been recently elevated to the rank of kingdom thanks to Napoleon, and Auguste's hand in marriage for his step-son (whom he adopted the day of the civil ceremony) had been one of his conditions.
Although originally a political union, the marriage turned out to be a happy one. Eugène and Auguste had seven children, among them Queen Josephine of Sweden and Empress Amelie of Brazil.

1. it’s my 24th birthday today, so my goal of being published by the time i’m 25 is now a one year looming monster, but i never specified what kind of published and am currently looking in various literary magazines that are recommended for writers who have yet to be published, so i’m surprisingly confident that i can make it work? and tbh even if whatever i write isn’t officially published before my 25th birthday, if i have someone in the process of being published then i’ll be happy!! no matter what though, i’m gonna try to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot!!
2. i honestly love that my birthday is on the ides of march because the ides of march meme shitposting is only a thing on tumblr but it also being my birthday makes it easier to like. be excited about the ides of march outside of tumblr. like even in person i can be like “it’s my birthday! i’m an ides of march babe (:” and if someone is like oh what’s that? or if they say something along the lines of oh like julius caesar? i can be like yep!! and even if it’s a small thing outside of tumblr it brings me immense enjoyment and amusement being able to bring it up off of tumblr
3. transportation situation has been very rough since june 2023 when i totalled my car, my gap insurance are being assholes and i ended up putting my foot down on the phone with them yesterday which i’m pretty proud of because i am NOT a confrontational person (something i’ve been working on this past year, so seeing some improvement with my ability to hold my ground and not be a pushover yesterday was very cool!!) i was told i’d get a response from them by friday next week no matter what, and if i don’t then friday of next week i will continue to wreak havoc upon them. but my moms car which i’ve been using since my accident broke down yesterday, hopefully it’s fixable but my parents were saying it might be done for, so trying to think of how i’m gonna get to work next week is kind of stressing me out lmao, but for now i’m just gonna focus on enjoying my birthday the best i can because i don’t want to start off being 24 with an overwhelming anxiety for something that won’t be a potential issue until monday. plus i already messaged my boss today to let her know that i’m going to do everything i can to make it work out but just so she’s in the loop and knows of the potential of me not being able to make my morning shifts (one of my coworkers said she’s more than happy to give me a ride for our afternoon shifts which does help relieve some of the stress!) and i told her i’d let her know for sure sunday so that if necessary she can have time to figure out someone to fill in for me in the mornings!
overall: life is weird and i ended being 23 yesterday with a shitty situation but a positive outlook and i am going to enjoy my first day of being 24 no matter what because honestly i fucking earned it. happy friday everyone, i hope it’s a good day for you and me both!
