Our Story So Far

~ ~ Our Journey ~ ~
Dear readers, I would like to share with you our journey so far so that I may encourage you all to see that it is possible to get through whatever life brings at you, together. Afterwards I will be giving some tips on how to make it through. Our next post will be a Q&A with, yours truly!

Note ~
Before we begin I'd like to point out that some details and certain names are not recorded to keep the privacy of all involved, also exact locations and dates are not detailed either.

It all began 6 years ago. We met on a group chat in an app. Now this didn't start out as a relationship. In fact, in the beginning we didn't even know each other and we weren't focused on one another. Our main focus was debating the Christian faith to Atheists. We were both on the Christian team. Some time passed by and I began to notice the way he would begin the debates and how he would challenge the other person. Something just caught my attention and so I decided to reach out and begin a friendship. We began talking and getting to know each other and after a while we grew really close. We had become almost the same person, our only difference was gender. I got to a point where I honestly didn't want this guy to ever be out of my life and so we decided to make our relationship official. We were a couple, and a happy couple at that. But there is something that happened while this was all occurring. I was in another relationship with this other guy and he was convinced he was in love with me. I would tell him I was in love and for some time I believed I was but when I met this other guy my feelings had all changed. I broke the guys heart and told him I just didn't feel the same anymore. He was heart broken, devastated. I still feel terrible about it to this day. I know what I did was very wrong and I will never say it was okay. But let me tell you, choosing this guy was not a mistake in the least. We had a very strong relationship because we spent a couple years building a solid friendship. We got to a point in our relationship that we were super close to one another. We were a team and I didn't want it any other way. I had known that we were in a good place but I hadn't known the extent of where we were exactly. Were we in love yet? Was it too soon? This was in the back of my mind but my validation came just a few days later. It was late at night and we were having a conversation and while we were talking this wonderful handsome guy had responded to my message with a bunch of hearts. I responded with "wow that's a lot of hearts." My heart was racing, was this the moment? He replied "just one wouldn't have been enough." Those words hit me like the beams of a sun, my heart had melted. "are you saying what I think you're saying?" I asked him. He said "I think I am." I couldn't believe it, we were in love. The moment every girl dreams of. It was exactly like a dream.
 I was not prepared for the next thing he told me. He said "the night before we met I had prayed to God and asked him to bring a girl into my life. Your my answer to prayer." If my heart hadn't melted already, it definitely did then. The journey there was so beautiful. We talked about our future together and what we both wanted, a life together. We were a team and I wouldn't have had it any other way...but then something that we both couldn't have expected....a big wave had come and crashed down on all we were working on. My parents have always been protective and so when they found out I had an online boyfriend, they were not happy at all. My phone was taken away and good bye forever...or so I had thought. It was months before I was allowed to even look at my phone again. Finally one day my grandfather was not doing well at all (I know this is very sad, but it has a happy ending). His health was not good so my mother had to go see him at the hospital. I had convinced her that it was important for me to have my phone so she could contact me  or I could contact her if I needed to so she gave me back my phone. A few weeks later I was thinking about how much I was missing this guy and so I decided to contact him. He answered and fast forward a few weeks later, we were rekindling our relationship. Things went really well for a while, we even called a few times too. It definitely wasn't perfect. There were a couple break ups, some make ups, some difficult times, but fast forward to today...we are happily both still in each others lives and enjoying life day by day. We do hope to meet sometime in the future but right now we are focusing on the little moments with each other...

Dear readers, I hope this has encouraged you. I gave some details about my part in this journey and some of it was hard for me to share and open up about but I truly believe our journey can help others and I believe it will. Now as promised here is our tips on how to stay together

1. Be A Team
you're not working against each other...your partner is never the enemy no matter how much it might look like. You must remember to be a team and fight for one another
2. Selfless
you must be willing to give up your own wants and desires. It can't be about you anymore
3. Together
you must remember that you are together, not apart. Everything you do, you do together, whether you are physically close or not
4. Future
all though you can't just focus on the future but must also focus on now, you must also think before you take actions because what you do now could affect both your futures
5. Fight
you have to fight like you've never fought before. Fight like someone just stole the last piece of cake (and it was your birthday)

Appreciation

I am feeling very appreciative and I just wanted to share it! I am so grateful for what I have in my life. Although it may not be perfect, finding the one right person that makes you feel the happiest you've ever been helps make life a little bit better. You know who you are, and I just wanted to thank you :) Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for showing me I'm not perfect and that's okay...It's a roller coaster journey of highs and lows but I wouldn't want to be anyone else but here with you.
