I'm engaged to the only man I ever loved. The only boyfriend I've ever had at 27 years old. We got engaged on our 1 year anniversary and plan to get married next year on that same day so we can keep the same anniversary until we die.
I don't super feel like going into detail but I met Jake back in 2012 when we worked together at Target at 18 years old, fresh out of high school. We were instantly, strongly attracted to one another but it wasn't the right point in our lives to get together. So we went on with our lives, lived two separate existences, and then found each other again online last April. From the first date onward we've always been very serious about loving one another. (Jake claims he even fell in love with me on the 2nd date when I met his family and he knew I belonged. Took me about a month longer than that to realize that I was definitely, majorly in love.)
We moved in together a few months ago and have been adjusting to that. We both really want a baby but I'm going to try to hold off until things are better financially if I can resist temptation long enough.
Before I started dating Jake, I didn't really think life was going to give me what I wanted. And now it seems like - though life is still hard and adulting can suck the big hairy wet one - all I gotta do is TAKE what I want out of life and eventually I'm given what I need. I guess what I'm saying is that you have to fight for what you want out of life or you're not going to be given what you feel you deserve.
Also, for those of you who were like me - late ass bloomers - it's OKAY.
It's okay not to be ready.
It's okay to be afraid.
It's okay to be single.
It's okay to be a virgin.
It's okay to be YOU.
Whoever you are. Don't change that beautiful person for anyone but yourself. Be the person you love the most and if you find yourself with no one who cares, don't change to fit in with someone who needs someone who isn't you. Just keep searching for someone that appreciates you for all that you are right now and accepts even the things about you that suck.
When you are ready, things will happen quickly and there won't be no stopping you. Please be brave, but please don't force yourself into anything you don't feel you're ready for. There is no rush. There is no hurry to get everything you want, because life has a way of changing NONSTOP anyway, so even once you have it, you're going to want the next thing, you WILL lose previous things and people that you love will constantly be coming in and out of your life until the day you die. Take each friendship, relationship, experience, and enjoy it as much as you can while you have it. Mourn your losses, embrace your hurting, split your face wide open with your brightest smile during the good times and just keep fighting for more good times. They will come... as will the bad.
Lastly, nothing is perfect. ESPECIALLY not people. Forgive others the way you hope you'll be forgiven for your mistakes. Don't settle, don't let people hurt you, love yourself first and demand respect, but don't be stingy with your love either. Find someone who will accept alllll of the love you have to offer. Find someone who is thankful for you, who misses you, who needs you. And once you find them, let go. Love without fear and don't be afraid to take all the love you need from them.
Now have a silly picture taken on Kake's anniversary and move on with your day. I hope it's a good one. :)
