I don't care if it's not Homestuck-related, this blog needs SOMETHING posted in a day.
So Hailey and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary today (yesterday?). I never really post stuff about our relationship or anything publicly, simply because I just see it as being a silly practice brought about by social-networking, but...
I just think everyone needs to know how absolutely lucky I am to have ever ended up with a woman like her. She's beautiful and funny, she's intelligent and down-to-earth, she speaks her mind and doesn't afraid of anything. She's literally everything I could have asked for and just so, so, SO much more than that. Words honestly fail me when I try to find something to describe how great of a person she really is.
I know this is completely cliche, but I truly hope that everyone out there can just find for themselves what Hailey has been for me. That said, I don't believe in searching for love. It has to come to you; love just seems to find you on its own. I'm not going to sugarcoat it: functional relationships should always be a two-way road, something that you should strive for and work towards. It doesn't just "happen" like television or movies like to make people think.
Hailey is the only girlfriend I've ever had, and I don't regret that or feel shame for that. I'm absolutely proud of the fact that I happened upon true happiness sooner than any of my peers could have ever claimed to (hell, I can guarantee most of them will NEVER claim it). She's been my "first" for a lot of things, and that's something special that no one else will ever get to share with me. Hailey's one-of-a-kind, and I can't even imagine myself with another girl. She's simply the best there is.
Here's to you, dear, and here's to many more celebrations of us.
