Warning: Sentimental mush ahead
This school year has flown by. So fast.
It's funny. If I look back before this year, I was a completely different person. I've never really been the type to talk about a boyfriend on the internet or in public, but I have to in this situation. The reason why I am completely different is because of David.
We've dated since the end of September, and consequently, changed my perspective of my entire junior year of college. He is my best friend, and I would be lost without him. I'm not trying to be overly sentimental or mushy, but it's the truth, and I'm tired of avoiding his name when I write these types of entries. And I promise, this will be the only entry that I really go on about him...
But back to David, he really does complete me. As a little girl (who had very romantic thoughts and ideas about life), I was always convinced in the idea that there is one perfect person for you out there. Then, in my sophomore or freshman year of high school, I was riding in the car on the way to school with Mark. We were listening to a musical (surprise!) - I don't remember which one - but a character found his true love, yet settled for someone else. I remember saying aloud how terrible that is. And Mark shook all of those romantic notions out of my head by telling me harsh realities of some people's lives. He told me that life isn't like the movies and fairy tales. Love and marriage isn't perfect, and lots of people settle for people that they can live with. I, on the other hand, wanted to be with someone I couldn't live without.
Since that conversation, I had dated a few guys, 2 of them would be considered serious, and as time passed, I was sure that Mark was right. Yeah, I really liked those guys, and they were great people, but those fireworks and lovey dovey stuff that every girl wants just wasn't there. I was beginning to lose faith in love and the promises that Disney brainwashed me with as a little girl.
Then along came David. To make a long story short, the wait was worth it. I cannot live without David, and that is how I have felt every day since September 28th. Moral of the story: don't settle. don't worry. God knows you and He knows what you need. He will provide you with someone who you are so in love with that even Disney's love stories rival with.
