The Importance of Change

"For what it's worth: it's never too late, or in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best, or take the worst of it. I hope you make the best. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you are proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again."  -Eric Roth; Benjamin Button

Change is not an easy thing, but boy how it happens without you hardly even knowing it. Sometimes the past isn't a proud place to look back on, but if it weren't for our past trials, where would we be today? For this, I thank the ugly past times and wouldn't change a thing. 

A younger {high school} me was a time when I knew it all, was always right, and knew what I wanted in life. Turns out I was as naive as the rest. However, this ignorance eventually landed me the most perfect man {for me}! 

Allow me to explain. When I "knew what I wanted" ironically enough, I learned exactly what I did not want. Not only that, I learned exactly who I did not want to be. When I {finally} woke up and realized this, I made the changes. The most difficult changes thus far in my life. I finally gained the courge to change the life I found I was not happy with. The most beneficial changes thus far in my life. If I wouldn't have experienced these not-so-wonderful times I wouldn't have appreciated meeting a man who knows how to treat a woman. A gentleman. A sincerly sweet guy. I also, wouldn't have learned the importance of my role in a relationship. 

I learned it is just as important for the woman to make the man feel important and loved. I need to contribute emotionally, physically, and financially. A man has many needs as a woman just in different {yet similar} ways. Learning this changed my life, for the better!

We {as a couple} continue to grow, learn, and change every single day. I tip my hat to our past times as I believe this is what makes our relationship as perfect as I believe it is. We have slim to none arguments and disagreements. We can read each other when no words are spoken. When miles apart we can sense our other halfs emotions. We truly have a unique relationship. One I would not {will not} EVER trade for anything in the world.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
