an institution
one year and four months
such a long time if you think about it... almost a year and a half, only two more months
having a steadfast companion for that long it somewhat defines you, but i think it opens you even more
you learn, through and because of that other person, so much about yourself and life and love and compromises which is probably the most important skill you could ever have
you learn to take the good with the bad to work for everything that you want and that not everything in life is easy but the things that are worth the most are hard and require a lot of work
every moment i am amazed even more that it has been so long since he and i first became a couple, and i think of all the things that were going on then... grease, flags, voice lessons with chiapetta, mr stewart (calc and phyz), high school in general, living with my parents in conyers, classes at gpc, homecoming, going to mexico.....
and so many more things have happened since then... i know what it means to simply want someone to find happiness even if it isn't with you, to know that you will love someone forever even if you aren't always with him, to do things that are hard just to get the end result that you want, to miss someone so much it hurts, to love everything about a person
school is going well.. i'm coming home this weekend...i don't have the time to but i am anyway
<3 me
