"If we're not careful we can require our own version of perfection, and ignore a different type of perfection right in front of our eyes."
I saw this statement in an article a few days after my last fight with my boyfriend and it hit home so hard and reminded me of what truly mattered.
It is always so easy to focus on the negative and wonder if they are ever enough, if we are ever too much for them.
We made it out of that fight intact, it was such a small matter really and yet it escalated due to stress and frustration of both parties.
Truly I am so grateful that I have him in my life. Words cannot express how much I love him. Love to me is a feeling of warmth, of safety and joy and security. It's painful at times, makes your heart pang and your eyes water but it always feels worth it with the right one.
To me, he is worth it.
We've been discussing our future often lately, and there is comfort in the knowledge that he sees a future with me as well. That he wants to get a house together, get married, have children, the whole 9 yards.
I am so grateful that he's so open about discussing it, that he doesn't shy away, that he welcomes me opening up and dreaming about what next. We've been together for a little over 2 years, and I look so forward to the rest of my life with him.
I'm praying so hard that this will all happen. That God will keep blessing us with grace and love and happiness. And that I keep in mind all the good things he does for me, instead of focusing on the one thing he doesn't do. Because Lord I love this man and I pray he will be my forever.
