It's true, what they say...

I really never thought my life would be like this. Not anytime soon anyway. I didn't know there was anyone on this island that could be my person. Someone that could and would be there for me no matter what. All the cheesy hallmark things you can possibly think of that would be said in a Valentine's Day card...those things I finally understand. Most of my teenage/adult life I have had a very specific list of what the person I fall in love with to be like. Over the years this list has become more of a daydream than anything. Sometimes I'd think of things or meet a new friend and write down a quality of theirs I really liked. Most of the things on this list are pretty standard by any one's means but here ya go...

-good work ethic
-honest
-genuinely caring
-hilarious
-my family HAS to love them
-my friends have to like them
-not constantly negative (like me)
-good attitude
-sees the good in themselves
-maybe a little shy


there's more to it but you get the general idea. I don't want an asshole is basically what I'm going for. Other important things that I never even thought about until my person came along was a list of it's own. I have a lot of deep anxieties about a lot of very specific things, I'm controlling and picky...I need things done a certain way..the list goes on and on. He has helped me realize all of these things and that it's ok for me to RELAX sometimes. to not care so intensely about things that don't need attention right away or too urgently.

There's a million things I could say about this person and I most likely will in the future. He's making me see things in a new way and that is something I have always wanted. I do my best to give him all of the love and support he deserves. I have never in my life been this happy and I know it's because of how I feel when I'm with him. My family adores him, my friends are obsessed...it's a perfect fit. I am grateful everyday to have life and all of things that come with it...and now he is one of those things.

I am done looking. He finally found me. And I am so in love.
