A little bit about me and my love...

A couple of weeks ago my boyfriend told me that he didn’t understand why I loved being with him and how this relationship could be different from any other relationship I have had, that seriously made me laugh.  I started to think about all my past relationships and how this particular one was truly different from the rest. 

This post is about what I came up with…

For starters, I have NEVER felt like I could truly be myself around anyone.  Specially being in the military, someone always wants to change me.  They want to make me more “grown up” whatever the heck that means, or they want me to be a different version of me.  I mean let’s be serious, I am a 25 year old who still listens to Hanna Montana and who will wait 3 hours at the line at Disney just so that I could meet all the Pixie Hallow fairies.  Let’s not even get started on my Sailor Moon addiction and my Pokémon card collection.  I cry when I am happy, when I am sad, when I am mad. LOL I am also very sure of who I am, what I want and what I need to do to make it happen.  I am very friendly and sometimes guys mistake it as flirting.  I love everything and everyone.  I am a complete morning person and I have energy for days!  I will put strangers before myself and my pet bunny is my life.  HAHA Trust me, not a lot of guys understand or get this combo. 

Since the first day that I met my boyfriend I have been nothing but 150% me.  I have never felt like I could do that with anyone.  Somehow as soon as I started letting my guard down I started being judged by the guy I was dating at the time.  But this time it was different, we were friends and roommates for about 7 months before he asked me to be his girlfriend.  It was funny because in everyone’s eyes we were already dating.  But I knew the truth, I had to wait patiently but most importantly I had to be me.  I was tired of having to tone down who I was just to meet another person’s standards.

We are honest with each other, we have fun, we are literally like the same person but different at the same time.  He watches Disney movies with me and gets involved in the things that I like.  He asks questions and he honestly wants to know what I do and what makes me happy.  He gets me, my corny jokes and he never, ever makes me feel like I can’t do anything and everything I set my mind to.  He keeps me grounded and flying all at the same time.  When we disagree on things I love that he tells me his point of view and even when I am the one that’s wrong he listens to me and tries to understand why I feel the way I do.

So to make my point… I have spent years trying to find someone that can make me feel the way he does. He is different in every way and I feel blessed to have him.

And you know I can't live without my coffee...
