am I overdue, or am I OVERDUE on a bf appreciation post?! ofc, I wish it were a husband appreciation post lol BUT, does the title really matter? I’ll leave that up for debate in the comments 👀

lately, when I imagine my life, I can say, I am seeing life from the focus of an adult and I have have a very defined vision. when I reminisce on being a child and considering things like marriage, family, career…. I believe, I could have never been prepared for life, realistically, even if I had been more focused and better guided. Life, is ever changing and evolving. What I would have been best to learn at a young age, is to give every single DAY my UTTER focus and, my very best try!

when we can conquer one day, over and over and over again…. we unlock a new level of mastery in this thing called life! and, that, is something I am constantly aiming towards.

with that, I just have to praise my life partner and my very best friend…. my bf ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)

life, is a challenge. and, for me, relationships and day-to-day life can be hard. but, having a partner that knows, understands, and loves me…. that has been a priceless and often underrated piece of my puzzle to success!

I remember being younger and always imagining my dream relationship…. and, I always wanted it to be super lovey-dovey and to always be super into each other and joined at the hip, so to speak. so, when I met my bf, and we connected to one another like magnets….. I was really obsessed with him, and, I couldn’t wait to be the light of his life forever.

I was so happy one day when, I sent him off to work after a super nice evening together… and, he text’d me saying, he loved how I sent him off to work so seamlessly! I felt so good knowing he was happy and would have an amazing day; more, I was feeling lucky to be the girl in his life, and on his mind!

to be totally honest, from the moment we met, we have spent VERY LITTLE time apart! we have been nearly inseparable. I guess, it could be, like, soulmates…. or, twin flames. we became one. we finally found each other. and, each day, we continue to find both ourselves, and one another.

falling in love, has been one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life! one day, I was reflecting, and it dawned on me…. ‘no wonder they call it FALLING in love’ LOL! becoming one with someone, can be painful… Like, growing pains, as they say.

From my observations, falling in love is often portrayed as this beautiful fairytale, and a magical story. But, the more I got to experience relationships, and got to learn more about men…. I concluded, those fairytale love stories are far from what I will likely ever experience in reality.

I have to say, that single realization has been the antidote to my survival along my (our) journey of falling in love. It’s easy to love one another when your expectations are realistic, and, you can roll with the punches in life.

Loving my significant other is easy! But, falling in love with another human, is totally scary to me ૮ ˙Ⱉ˙ ა rawr! am I the only person that feels this way?!!

Well, let me explain! Reflecting, again, on my youth…. ‘Love’ seemed a lot less scary! I mean, the bulk of it was just going on dates with your bf/gf, kissing in the hall before class, writing love notes and framing photos of each other together. What’s scary about any of that?! It was all just innocent fun. Fast forward to adulthood, and, wow! I wish love in adulthood could be more lighthearted! But, when you are adapting to the laws of society and overcoming politics in the world…. Companionship and love, become a bit more challenging to manage.

hahaha! I am just joking, and being a bit dramatic. But, for example, can you imagine falling in love during quarantine/the pandemic…. And then, post-pandemic, you have to get back to work and, overcome inflation in the process! In my relationship, personally, it has felt like death not being able to be with my lover 24/7 and having to see him off to work each day! (lol ik, so spoiled)

So, I say all of that, to say, I am extremely thankful for every moment and memory I get to share and create with my lover! Though, we have rough patches from time-to-time…. I believe, it is simply, because I am resentful during times we are forced to share apart. And, I have never really imagined caring for someone so much, I would hate to spend even a moment away from them!

But, here’s to falling in love 🥂😻🥲
