Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

To love and to be loved.
People throw this “love” word around like it’s a frisbee. It’s not. To love someone to the fullest and with everything you have…well that’s something else. I love my boyfriend of 3 years. But recently, I can truly say I know what love is. I know what love stands for and what it means to me. Love takes sacrifice, patient and for one to drop all guards to become selfless.
After three years of being on different coasts, three thousand miles apart and plane flights away…I finally got to experience what I have been missing out on for these last three years. People take the simple moments for granted. Moments like laying in bed and watching cartoons, driving in the car while you both sing a song at the top of your lungs or just enjoying each others presences while not having to say a word. I wish people would realize that these moments are special and to cherish them. People need to stop thinking of the bigger and better picture of what their relationship can be. All you have to do is take a step back and cherish the simple moments because those are what truly matter.
Now that I had the chance to experience each moment that we both have been deprived from for so long, I can truly say he is my soul mate. Yes, I should have known that after three years before but you truly cherish someone when you get the chance to embrace them at their best and at their worst.
I am hands down one of the most luckiest girls in the world to have the man I have in my life. He can make me laugh when I am down, he makes me a priority, he’s selfless, he sacrifices certain aspects of his life to make us work, he reminds me everyday why and how much he loves me and most of all…he has stood by my side during one of the most difficult but rewarding relationship we have both experienced. I am blessed to live the life I live and honored to have the man I have by my side through this journey we are going to take head on.
I love you.
