It took me too long to write out 26 if I’m being honest but whatever.
Just got home from going out with my friend Paige and it was sooooo fun! Lotta girl time and gossip and stuff. Loooooooved it!!!
Today...sucked lol honestly. Me and Kyle had...disagreements??? I guess bc they weren’t fights bc we solved them pretty quickly but like that’s ~bad~ to us now and that’s W I L D. We used to like ~fight~ fight and I’d be like eh today was alright. And now I’m like omg i cried for two seconds so today wasn’t our best!!! But omg it’s so much better than it ever was!!! We are matuuuuuuuure wooooooow. I’m in love with that weirdo. 🙄
But like yeah, life is good!! I’m working at a job that’s stressful but good and like I gotta man that I love and friends I get to hang out with! Things are feeling real good right now :) I’m happy.
Wow been a minute since I’ve been on here.
So last weekend we went to Disney world with Kyle’s family! It was a really chill trip with some great and super fun moments!
There are moments, every now and then, I just get so overwhelmed with love when I’m with Kyle. Feeling loved, or how much I love him. There’s just this side of him that’s for me. During this Disney trip, I would see him joke with his family, tease them, and then turn around and just be so amazingly sweet to me. And it’s all just things he does naturally, I know he’s not doing them because he feels like he has to or like society says he needs to or blah blah blah. The way he makes me feel so loved is just absolutely amazing. We have such a genuine relationship this time around and we can actually communicate effectively and wonderfully. I also keep thinking about one morning he woke up before me and he woke me up by hugging me and giving me a sweet little kiss and whispering in my ear and I swear there is no better way to wake up. I’m very content and happy in my relationship and I hope I’m able to make him feel as loved as he makes me feel. 🥰

“Maybe love stays. Maybe love can’t. Maybe love shouldn’t. Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to. And love leaves exactly when love must. When love arrives, say, ‘Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.’ If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her. Turn off the music, listen to the quiet. Whisper, ‘Thank you for stopping by.’”

In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.
very true.
