Engaged

The ocean crashes against the shore

on Honeymoon Beach

The warm sand beneath our feet

As you pull me from my seat

The boats are docking

Friends are watching

As you dropped to one knee

Asking me that crazy question

“Will you marry me?”

My hearts stops beating

Tears start to fall

My face is red

And I can hear it all

Your declaration of love

Our friends saying yes

Watching you on one knee

Speaking to me

A girl whose had it rough

Been told that she’ll

Never be good enough

Will never be loved

To see that this guy

Picked me

Wanted me

Loved me

Was more than enough

For me to nod my head

And whisper

“Yes”

Day 09 – Into the Future

Day 09 – How you hope your future will be like

Much like my day two challenge, I still want my future to be filled with happiness. Since we’re getting more into detail I want everything that I’m currently working to to be successful.

I want to be able to move and successfully make it in the states. I want to be able to find an amazing job that makes me happy. I want my son to no longer struggle in school and be able to make real friends. I don’t want to see him bullied and picked on anymore. These are just a few of my short term goals for the future.

My long term goals are basically generic. I want my marriage to be successful. I want to have my own house, no student loans, and I want to be finished paying off for my car. I want to be a successful business owner as well.

I want my future to be bright but there is no telling what the future holds. The only thing I can do is take it one step at a time.

Day 02: 10 Year Plan

Day 02 – Where you’d like to be in 10 years

Good question. 

I always asked my ex-boyfriend this question and his answer was always the same. I want to be alive. Of course I thought it was a weird answer because we were already assuming that one would be alive. Now looking back I understand.  

In ten years I don’t know where I’d be but I would like to be happy. This is my ten year plan. I don’t care where life takes me or how hard my journey is. As long as I come out feeling happy and blessed then nothing else matters.

I still have the standard generic goals. I’d love to be married, own my own house, car, and I want a job that not only makes me happy but changes lives. Maybe in ten years I’ll reconsider having children and have more. I don’t know. You know these goals. It’s like the supposed “American Dream”.

I don’t want money or fame. What good is it if  you’re miserable? You can buy all the things you dreamed of in the world but what good is it if at the end of the day you’re still feeling empty. Nothing can fill that hole in your chest. So my answer is happiness. In ten years I want to be happy. I’m sure that in being happy all my dreams and goals will follow.

The future is never certain. We just have to make the best of it. How you deal with it is up to you. 

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Day 01: My Love Life

Day 01: Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is

• Feeling arms being wrapped around oneself in the middle of the night
• Sneaking in looks when the other person isn’t looking
• Waking up to find multiple texts of “I Love You“
• Singing lyrics to a song loudly and badly
• Checking in almost every hour
• Lazy afternoons watching TV
• Sharktopus Marathon Series
• Sharknado Movie Nights
• Breakfast in Bed
• Sleeping in Late
• Forehead kisses
• Random pranks
• Tears of Joy
• Laughter
• Smiles
• Love

That’s just to name a few and I can go on for quite sometime. I thought I ran out of firsts in relationships until I met him. He his patient and kind. He is the reason why I smile and cry from laughing so much. He’s the reason why I’m standing whole again, ready to love.

He is my glue. He found me at my worse, completely shattered and broken, diligently working hard to put me back together. He showed me a new kind of love, the kind that makes your heart burst. He restored trust and hope, planting new seeds of life to a dying plant.

This is my current relationship. My favorite relationship. My last relationship.

I honestly thought I understood the definition of true love until I met him. He is showing me raw uncensored love. The kind of love that you would give your life not to lose. I love my relationship as much as I love falling in love with him over and over again.

Every day is a new surprise and a new first. I’m losing count of all the firsts we’ve shared. We started out as best friends and now we are something more.  I’m glad that we went through everything we had to go through before we found each other. It made us realize how much of ourselves we see in each other. We learned how to make the best of everything and appreciate everything the other person has to offer.

What is my relationship?

It is happiness, fun, and most importantly full of love. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

He’s my last thought in the night and first in the morning.

He’s my happily ever after.

This is my relationship. What’s yours?

Choose Wisely

To the left lies the past

Something that still has a grasp

On the mind, body, and soul.

While to the right stands the future

Waiting with an outstretched hand

Simply saying “I understand.”

Standing on the edge

Of a rock and a hard place

This decision one has to face.

The past left you broken

The future is not yet certain

Now you have a choice to make

One that ultimately seals your fate

Pick the one that suits you best

And let the pieces fall into place
