It turns out that I have spent six months in a relationship with somebody without being sick of them. For me, this is a stellar accomplishment, especially considering that I am something of an eternally single cat lady/a free spirit.
When I think back to how we started dating, it doesn't really make much sense at all. But in my life, things rarely ever make sense. I'm just glad it happened.
I can safely say that I've never been romantically loved before. But I feel it now - and - I'm not going to lie, it feels pretty damn awesome. It's also a little hard to believe, since I am principally defined by my flaws and quirks: I am morbidly obsessed with ice and coffee, I am often unpredictable, I am secretly a cat, I sometimes let my life spiral out of control and I am an old soul on the inside. And on to physical deformities: I have gaping pores, remain stubbornly flat-chested and have no idea how to style my hair, so it always just floats about in the wind like a mass of brownish-gold seaweed.
With relationships in general, I try not to let myself go at such a premature stage. But we've been doing long distance, and for some reason, that makes me feel like we've fast-forwarded through the normal pace of a relationship by being so absolutely committed at such an early stage.
I'm a lucky girl...I know it. Girls everywhere want to have what I have. I love him - and I value this relationship more than I've ever valued any other one in my life. I really hope I can hold on to it for many many many more happy months to come :)
