New Beginnings

Jan 19, 2012 02:05

So, I am moving out of my parent's house this weekend.

I'm moving in with my boyfriend.  I know we have only been dating for three months, and a lot of people think it's too soon, and that we are rushing into things, and it will ruin our relationship.  What people don't realize is, to me, it's not too soon.  I feel like I have known him my entire life, and these last three months, feel like an eternity to me.  We have such a deep, strong connection on every single level imaginable.  He's more than anything I could have ever wished to ask for, but more importantly, he's everything I need.  He motivates me to be such a better person.  It's okay if I make mistakes, or I get too upset about things, because he makes me see the good in everything.  He's such a positive person, which is one reason why I love being around him.

I'm moving out, so I can better myself.  Sure, the fact that I get to be with him all the time is awesome, but at the same time, he's offering me a chance to finally do something for me for a change.  Living at home, I can't take care of the things I need to take of, to start my own life.  Living with him, will allow me the opportunity to make something of myself, and at the same time, make something of us together.

Now, I'm not naive.  I've been in enough relationships to know that it's not always easy.  There are going to be times where we can't stand to be around each other, and there are going to be things that he does that annoy me, and vice-a-versa.  We are going to have to work at it each and every day.  But that's what you do in ANY relationship.  It takes commitment, faith, trust, communication.  And we are both willing to do our very best at this.  I've been so scared of failure for such a long time, that I've let several chances go by.  I'm scared of disappointing my family.  But since I've been with him, he's taught me that I can't live my life for my family anymore.  I have to live my life for me.  I need to take some chances.  I can't stay here, and watch what should have been my life, be lived from my friends.  I can't sit here and then look back at thirty years old, and have never done something for myself.  If I crash and burn in the process, then at least when I'm thirty, I can say I sure as hell tried.  I gave it my all, I put effort into a goal.

I hope people can start realizing that I'm not doing this to be selfish and just be with my boyfriend, because it's so much bigger than that.  This is the very FIRST thing that I've ever done to better myself.  I hope people can appreciate and respect that.
