Coming into 2011, i was hitting a year into the longest lasting relationship i’ve ever been in my life. I’m not one too keen with commitment, it scares the living fuck out of me. But as much as commitment scares me, being alone scares me even more. I just feel like with every relationship i put myself in, each one teaches me more about myself and what makes me happy and how much i’m willing to tolerate. Although we are no longer together, i still like to think that our relationship was good for me in the long run. We had good days and we had bad days, and i learned what was healthy and what was not okay. I know 18 is young to be thinking about being in love forever, but i can’t help but be a sap. I’m not the kind of girl that gives “meantimes” a run for their money, i’m looking for something that i can canvass my future into.
And that leads me to where i am today. I know a lot of people get the short end of the stick when it comes to mine and diego’s relationship. Sure, we fight to the point where we have to give each other some time apart, but we have and will always find a way right back to each other. I know what you’re thinking, yeah she said this about the last one what the fuck is different now, right? The difference is i had to learn from the last one to realize where i am in my life now, and whats good for me. Thank God for diego, he keeps me on that grounded level that i need. He makes sure i put all my effort in everything i do, and he puts being my best friend first before being my boyfriend. After all the rounds of “best friends” i’ve had, diego is the only one willing to meet me at halfway’s point. So as we end the year, this is not where i’d imagine i would be, but i am so so glad i’m here.
