Fortunate
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.... Wow! I loved that movie! It was one of the greatest chick flicks of all time! That was great... Got me teary-eyed at times, but I love happy endings.
Ha ha ha... You know how people say "I love you so much I'd follow you anywhere you go." and "I'd travel halfway across the world for you." and things like that when they're in love? Well, how many people actually mean things like that? Until today, I didn't even think my own boyfriend really meant it when he said things like that...
My family is now talking about a possible move to India. I just found out this morning. I am all for it. I would love to live in India, for a billion reasons. However, I have one reason to stay in America- Jason. But the idea of having to choose between a great opportunity (something I have always wanted to do) and what could possibly be the love of my life, would be the most difficult decision I would ever have to make- either way, I would lose something.
So this afternoon, I brought it up with Jason. I wanted to know exactly where we stand, in the event that I moved very far away from him- especially if I were to move out of the country! With all the talk of moving in the states, he always said we'll make it work, no matter how far apart we are, but I was positive that that would only be true if I stayed within the U.S. With talk of India, I was sure that Jason would expect me to either stay in America, or we'd break up.
So I asked him: What would we do?
Jason, being the most optimistic person I have ever met in my life, simply said that it would be hard, but we'd make it work. And I was like, Jason, we're talking about being half a world apart from each other! Let's be realistic, here! Are you seriously going to stay with me, even though you'll only be able to see me once a year? It's like nothing scares him. Nothing worries him, because he truly believes nothing can tear us apart! He won't let anything tear us apart! Even when we have realistic obstacles that would give most couples grounds for breaking up, ending our relationship never even crosses his mind. The fact that Jason is willing to stay with me no matter where in the world I move, means enough to me, but then he goes on to say that if I moved to India, he would follow soon thereafter... That's right- my boyfriend is willing to move halfway across the world just to be with me. Isn't that crazy? I told him he has lost his mind. He said he must have to be with me! Ha ha ha...
Never in a million years would I have ever guessed that I would have someone who is literally willing to do anything just to stay with me... someone who will stay with me no matter what... someone who will travel halfway across the world just to be with me... Don't think I take him for granted. I don't. I realize what I am fortunate enough to have every single day, and I appreciate him and thank God for him. But that doesn't mean I deserve him.
