Today marks the official day that Derek and I have been together for eight months. Its one of the most wonderful feelings in the world to wake up next to someone, and be in absolute bliss just because of their body laying their next to yours.
He has been a wonderful help throughout the amount of time I've known him. We've known each other for about three years now. He's been one of my best friends. He's always done his best to be there in his own way. Every single night he has always called me just to make sure I was alright. Because of the popularity of texting, most people don't call anymore. However, he didn't like to text so instead we always talked over the phone.
He has been the one person I have been able to tell anything too, and feel perfectly comfortable with. He has never judged me for any of my actions, and he is okay with the fact that I am a work in progress. He has read my journals and understood a lot of my struggles that even my closest girl friends never understood.
Throughout the Summer of 2016 we decided to test the waters. We never made it official until August 17th, but we did everything a couple would typically do. The connection was strong, but we were both terrified at what could happen. Neither of us wanted our friendship to be hurt, and neither of us wanted to get hurt. However, after everything on August 17th in the evening we made it official.
Things weren't perfect at first, but they weren't by at all means bad either. We were learning how to work as a couple, and how to understand each others different worlds. We've both been able to grow with each other and mold ourselves into the adults we are today. Sure we still have a lot to learn since we're both in our early twenties, but every day is going to be a new day full of adventure.
To this day, I can't imagine myself without him. He is my other half. I feel this deep connection that I haven't felt before, and while it scares me I have come to accept it. I'm completely head over heels for this man, and am absolutely in-love with him.
He has brought experiences into my life that are hard to put into words. I've felt new sensations I've never felt before. I got to see the world in a whole new way, and he has also introduced me into the city life. He took my to my first rave on March 4th and absolutely blew my mind.
Not only did I get to experience the feeling of letting go, but I was also able to experience this with him. He held me tightly throughout random points in the night as we both screamed our hearts out and danced the night away. He always made sure that I was in good hands. Everyone there had a good positive feel to them. This experience has changed my mind about the city life.
He has introduced me to such an exciting life, and I have introduced him to the life of calmness. The life of sitting at home (even on a Friday night!) and just watching Netflix. He isn't so crazy and reckless anymore. We both found peace and a liking to each others worlds. To this day, we have a good balance between the two.
No one is perfect. We both have our own issues that we are working towards, but we are working towards them together.
And that, is what makes this journey truly special.
