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 is the only girl in your whole world. 
Treat her like you did at the beginning of the relationship.
Tell her that you love her, and mean it. 
Look into her eyes often.
Tell her she's beautiful.
Want her.


...and at the end of the day, remember all that.

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...

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...
