You have to kiss a lot of frogs…

- November 20 -

…To find your prince.

You know, I don’t think people could understand the feelings that I possess a lot of the time. Most of the time, they’re too complicated for me to put into words, or they overwhelm me to where I can’t explain them. Of course, I’m sure this is just my way of over-complicating things and being dramatic, but it is true.

I finally met someone that wants to treat me the way (I’ve been told) I should’ve always been treated. This isn’t something I want to take advantage of. At first, I was scared and wanted to run, but he stayed. He’s so understanding. So reassuring all of the time. The biggest gentleman I’ve ever met. He told me that if I had fears, it was okay. I’m only human. He said he would wait for me, no matter how long it took. Not once have I ever heard a guy say that to me. It was at that moment that I knew this guy was worth it. It was worth it to overcome my fear and not run away. The scariest part was knowing he would be the first official relationship I’d ever had in my life. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know how to act… I’ll be nineteen on Thanksgiving and I’ve never had a boyfriend. It was scary for me. I was afraid to let my guard down only to be torn apart again. But there was something inside of me that was screaming, “Take a leap of faith.” And I did and lately, my days have been filled with complete happiness. He listens. I talk. He talks. I listen. He laughs, I laugh. He smiles, I smile. It’s like an endless give-&-take cycle.

I’m not sure what the future holds, but I have a feeling it’s going to be good. I don’t know about love, either. But I know the feelings I’m having are pretty strong and I don’t want to ruin that with a silly “I love you.” I want to let the feelings build up until they eventually overflow. I don’t even know if I believe in love! But, I have an inkling that whatever this feeling I have right now is getting pretty close.

The end.
