It’s been a while since I’ve written on this platform, but not since I’ve written anything. My masters has been keeping me busy, and I’m almost done with another term. I’ve decided to take fall II off for the holidays and a well deserved break 🙂 classes have been going much better than the Econ class, I have currently a 96% in my class I’m in now.

A lot has changed for me within the past couple of months. I got a promotion at work, been completing my masters, but most importantly, I got the answer to my questions I’ve been posting on here about. The love of my life came and got me.

I know it sounds silly, a couple of months? How do you know he’s the love of your life? Well, it was when I quit looking, and trying to date people that he found me, again. Lol we’ve actually known of each other for a long time, but just as acquaintances. He would come into the restaurant I used to work at as a regular with his dad all the time. I still remember their order, and that was 6-7 years ago.

He never approached me at the time, but as we’ve talked about our meeting, he mentioned to me that he always wanted to. I was engaged at the time to someone else, but he asked around about me. Then he respectfully left it alone to not intrude on an engagement if you will.

He slid into my dm’s, that’s how the kids say it right? But he asked me out, and we clicked right away. He is such a gentleman and I could tell he was really into me on the second date. Right after that, I came down with COVID-19. I self isolated, praying he didn’t get it, and that he didn’t think I was flaking on him by avoiding seeing him. But he texted me everyday, asked if I needed him to bring me anything, and told me he couldn’t wait to see me again. After a couple weeks, I felt good again and was no longer contagious.

I won’t bore you with the details, but we’ve blended together quite nicely. He always opens my door, texts every morning calling me beautiful and kisses me like there’s no tomorrow. He calls his house our house and talks about me moving in and starting our lives together everyday. It’s like he’s made for me, and I was made for him.

Kinda crazy how that worked out right? I was sitting over here thinking that I was going to end up alone because no one was good enough for me or could keep up. I’m so glad I was wrong. I can’t wait to start our journey together and build a strong family and household.

I stress that it’s important to work on yourself and focus on you. It is, and by the time someone comes along, you’ll be happy with you and love them because you love yourself. Don’t chase people; if they want to be there, they will be. Don’t give your all in relationships to someone that doesn’t give their all to you. People in life are like trees. You have some leaves that fall away, some branches that last a little longer, and roots that you’ll have through your lifetime. Leaves come along by the hundreds, branches fewer and roots even less. Don’t waste your time and efforts on leaves or branches. Put your care into the roots that sustain your life force.

Thank you Kevin for bringing me hope again, for loving me like no one else has, and being my rock. I love you.
