[living-her-best-life]

A midnight walk on the beach, sand in my toes, moonlight reflecting off the surf, walking next to the person I love… sounds like heaven right about now.

Will my dreams ever come true? I’m tired of living a nightmare. Tired of not waking up to the person I love. Tired of not hearing “I love you too”. I’m tired. I miss her. I miss caring for her when she’s sick. I miss doing her laundry. I miss cleaning the house. I miss making her smile. I miss getting her baby m&m’s and flowers. I miss driving her to work. I miss making her laugh. I miss the way she would look at me with a spark in her eye. I miss the way she made me feel safe. I miss way she knew my thoughts… the list goes on.

She’s worth my patience, she’s worth my love. She’s worth everything and so much more. I just pray and wish on stars and dream she comes back. Even if not… I can’t say I didn’t persist, I didn’t stay true to myself, I didn’t love with all my being. She deserves at least that.

This day next month we will take that huge step, the one we have been waiting for since we got together, since we got engaged last May, since we filed our visa petition back in March and since it was approved in October. The step you crave every damn day when you’re long distance. We will finally, after what felt like a life time apart we will close the distance. I will move over to Korey and we will live together under the same roof, our own little apartment that he moved into 2 weeks ago and has been getting ready for me getting there, we will fall asleep in the same bed every night together, we will wake up every morning in the same time zone, our date nights could now be a stroll by the beach and making dinner together instead of dreaming about it and both having pizza over Skype. I have treasured every Skype date we have had over the last 2 and a half years but to really be together will be sweet! Going through all the struggles and hard times sucked but I’m so glad we made it through and our hard work, communication and patience will soon pay off and our new adventure will begin with a whole new load of hardships…but we will take them on together. Distance cannot beat real Love 😄❤

You cannot heal people – this I’ve learned the hard way, time and time again. I’ve always been the type of person who wants to take on peoples problems as my own. I care. I can’t help that I care, and so I get invested. I want to stand beside someone and help them fight. I want to be the person they turn to. I want to be the one with the answers, with the warm shoulder, with the open arms, with the affection and love and support they need.

But you know what happens when you try so hard to fill someone’s empty bucket? You end up taking so much from your own that you start to get dizzy. You start to forget what you need, who you are, and what you deserve.

And it sucks. It sucks because to watch someone spiral, to see them hurt, to feel their ache as if it was in your own bones just makes you feel worthless. You’re wired to be the one with the big heart. You were born to care.

But some point you have to realize that you can’t save people. You can’t rescue them. You can’t change their heart. You can’t fix, can’t mend, can’t solve, can’t be a savior. Because you’re not. And that’s not what either of you needs.

You have to realize that you are not a failure because you can’t fix someone else’s problems, or because you don’t have the power to lift them out of whatever hole they’ve buried themselves in. Sometimes you can give someone all the love they need and it still won’t be enough. Not because of you, but because they need to lift themselves too. They need to fight. They need to want to strengthen themselves, and not let someone do it for them.

It hurts, but sometimes you have to love from a distance, love in a way that doesn’t bury you, just to resurrect someone else. And that doesn’t mean you don’t care; it means you’re caring enough to let them find their footing, while also keeping yourself on steady ground.
