(i wrote this early thursday morning,
didnt have time to post it till now)
hello all,
well, today, january 20th, 2005, marks something remarkable. incredible even. something that a little over a year ago i would've thought impossible. or at least not probable. but here it is. =)
today marks the one year anniversary of i, Phillip J. Fr- OOPS! sorry, too much futurama, **shakes head** as i was saying, today marks the one year anniversary of i, Jason E. Perez, and the lovely Olivia W. Lin (tee-hee her initials spell OWL!! ^_^ )
what can i say that hasnt been said already?? what can i possibly write that i havent written ten times over?? what do i say to the girl i love, who ive told i love, everyday for like, the past nine/ten months??
how do i show the woman i love, that i love her, when all i do is for her?? i got a job for her, lol, i take her out, i listen to her, i talk to her, i buy her gifts. anything and everything i do, i basically do for her.
how do i make this day special??
how do i go above and beyond from everything ive already done?? write a cheesy lj post?? nah ive done that before, (1 month and 6 month anniversary posts to be exact. =P )
im just speechless.
all ive ever wanted since high school was to be loved, and to have someone to love. to be in a loving relationship. ive never been the normal high school teen. i was never a huge party every weekend get drunk kinda high school teen. thats just not my scene.
ive always been a dork in my own way.
i was such a hopeless romantic in high school.
i so badly wanted a high school sweetheart.
i guess i got that from being a big movie freak,
but i never got that. and i guess because most of my high school "relationships" ended badly, most of the time with me getting hurt, repeatedly, i got a little depressed. i got a little hardened inside.
im not writing this to incite pity.
honestly this will prolly be so long ill get a handful of actual friends who'll read it. but anyway im going of on a tangent.
anyway, after high school i was afraid of dating cause i was afraid of getting hurt again. i never thought id find someone who truly cared for me, because i always felt that eventually the girl would get bored of me, or there'd be something fundamentally wrong within myself to scare a girl away, or disinterest her. i guess part of this is cause in high school i got alot of; "its not you, its me." =\
the truth is, after i moved back to new york after going to high school in florida, i didnt date anyone for almost 3 years. and part of that was cause i was afraid of getting hurt. it took me a long time to get over my past relationships. but im glad i did, and im glad it happened cause no matter how hurt i was, it made me stronger.
anyway the point is, sometime after i got over my past, i was ready to move on, and soon after i met this lovely little asian girl by the name of olivia. and while i didnt know it then, i would soon find out that she would become everything ive ever wanted in a girl. and as cheesy as that sounds, thats how i really feel.
and sometimes im still amazed that shes with me. me of all people. im not that great really, and to get a catch like her, man thats awesome. she really is the sweetest, cutest, special girl ive ever had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know.
and her, at the time i met her, man she had guys throwing themselves at her feet. better looking guys then me too. with more money. but for some reason she still chose me. and honestly, i knew since the beginning, that i was gonna fall for this girl. i just never thought she fall for me.
and here we are a year later. still together.
im not gonna lie, the ride has been bumpy. and i mean BUMPY!! ( =P ) but weve always stuck through it. weve always worked through whatever roadblock was in the way. we always stayed, and talked things out, even when we both wanted to just run away from the problem. and thats what i feel matters.
it doesnt matter if you fight with your spouse. no relationship is perfect. but if your not willing to compromise, if your not willing to work through it, if the will to work through it dies, then something is wrong, and ever since day 1 ive been the biggest advocate of working through our differences. and its made our relationship so much stronger.
so heres to the woman i love,
heres to one year,
heres to another year to come,
and to whatever the future may bring us.
happy anniversary baby.
i have nothing planned. i have no gifts. no romantic surprises. all i have is a cheesy lj post, and myself. but this isnt about what you do, or what you get. its about who your with. and being with you is all i need.
youve made me happier then ive ever been in my life. and i will spend all the time i can, and all the time you will allow me to, to make you happy too. to give you back the happiness youve given me.
olivia, my sweetheart, i love you, happy anniversary.
