Tomorrow marks the last day of the two month drought that I haven't seen Sydney. If everything goes to plan, I will never wait 2 months to see her again. Finally everything we've worked hard for is becoming a reality and it is insane to think how incredible it is that we came up on the other side of everything we've gone through as a team, as a couple, and in love. Sure, it's perhaps almost 8 years later than I would have liked, but nothing that's worth having comes easy. You see and hear in the movies to not give up on love. However, it seems like recently it's quite alright to give up. If things get difficult you might as well quit right? It may be arrogant to think, but winners don't quit. You fight until the last possible second. Success stories aren't built on clear paths to the top. They are built upon clawing through adversity when times get tough. They are built upon learning lessons and then fixing what went wrong. Love isn't easy. It's not always fun. And it's never perfect. But loving the person who loves you makes you a winner. There are no trophies for second place; only the thought of what could have been. Somehow I won. And you can be damn sure I am going to fight like hell to stay one. Women may not be trophies, but Sydney Menges as close as you get. You know how people say that "today is the first day of the rest of your life"? Well. Hello May 11, 2016. 👋🏻
