To The Guy Who Made Me Feel Like Me Again

Dear boy,

Timing is always key. And when you came into my life, the timing couldn't have been any better. I was a hormonal, heartbroken seventeen year old girl, who just cut off a good chunk of her hair, as to try and free myself from the previous year of my life. I always put on a smile and my favorite shoes, but behind that, I was a wreck. I pushed away most people, and rejected love and support when it came my way. But most of all, when you met me, you met a person who was angry with God.

I was this way for quite sometime. But then, there you were.

You were this much needed calm in the storm that was my life. You eventually became someone that I couldn't go a day without talking to, but if we did, we could pick up right where we left off, as if no time had been lost.

I needed to remember how to be treated right, and that's exactly what you did for me. You made me value our friendship and cherish the moments and memories we made together more than I ever have before.

On top of all the goofy and fun moments we have shared together, all of which are my favorite, you have been the perfect gentleman. A type a guy I didn't know even existed anymore. You helped me to realize that it wasn't me or my not so great luck with guys that I thought I had. I always gave too much of myself to others, and never left any piece of me for myself. When you came into my life and treated me so differently than all the other guys I've ever known, it caught me off guard.

Through you, I have become a better version of myself. I no longer need constant reassurance in life, because by your example, I know I don't need anyone's approval but my own.

Whether you know it or not, you helped me heal. And you helped me grow into the person I am today. You taught me how to be a better and more faithful Christian. You've shown me nothing but love and support since the day we met, something which is a rare find in anyone. You have allowed me to loosen up and enjoy things more, and not rush through life as quickly as I have. But most importantly, you have shown me what having a true friend looks like.

So thank you. Thank you for deciding to become my friend and go on adventures with me, because lets face it, anytime you get into a car with me, an adventure is usually just around the corner.

 I am the luckiest girl in the world, to have been able to find someone like you.

Love,
Me

Changing Perspectives

What if, at the end of the day, we focus on what's holding us together,  rather than what's tearing us apart? Do you ever feel like you're just barely holding on?  ...like life couldn't possible get any worse?  Do you feel like you're running in circles in your relationship and you don't know why? ...like you're constantly fighting about the same things, and nothing ever gets better? What would happen if you decided to just take a step back for a second and remember? Really look into her eyes and see the beauty that is your girl.  Remember why you fell for her in the first place.  Remember the laugh that only happens when you're around.  Remember the late night talks spent getting to know one another all those years ago.  Remember all those little things about her. And then learn how to love again. Hold her hand. Laugh with her. Hold her softly. Calm all of her fears..gently.  Make her know that she i

A Letter To You, My Love

Dear you, Distance is supposed to make the heart grow fonder right? Distance also tests us, and challenges us, and makes us say and do things we wish we could take back as soon as the words are said. The stubborn, selfish side of me says that my heart grows just as fond of you when I'm living 10 minutes away from you, not 2 hours. I hate being away from you. But the real side of me, the side you fell in love with, the selfless, the kind-hearted, the compassionate woman I am proud to be, knows this distance is going to be so worth it in the end. It's going to force us to put one another first in all circumstances. It's going to test our love, and make us prove how much the other person means to each other. It's going to show us whether or not we're really a priority in our busy lives. Communication and trust are key in making us work. Simple texts throughout the day, a random selfie, a late night unexpected phone call, and so much more become so precious and valu

Homesick

Home has always been the place where you feel you most belong and are accepted. Home can be so many different things to so many different people. But the thing I've come to learn, is that home isn't always a place. Home can be a thing you love, a certain scent or feeling, or a person you can't live without. I've become homesick for a place I'm not even sure exists even more, a place where I'm at peace and loved by him without a worry in the world. My home became him. And I worry that I will never completely be at home again, because my heart is constantly elsewhere. But, maybe that's the price you pay for allowing someone in. Then, all of a sudden you're in a place you're supposed to enjoy and fall in love with, but all you can think about is being home and how you're not there. You became my home because I left my heart with you while I was gone, knowing you would still be there with it when I got back. I miss you. I mi
