Lessons From My Exes

Well alright… another day, another blog about ANOTHER boy! Obviously if you have read my previous blog posts, I have been thrown into a lot situations when it comes to relationships and have learned a lot of different things. This one was no different. When I was on the up and outs with the homie from my last post, I met this guy. Mind you, this is when I lived in Iowa. Iowa was SO. SMALL. And my campus was even smaller (if that’s even possible). I lived on a campus that only housed soccer players, so I was living, eating with, and constantly breathing the same air as the same 40 people for two years. It doesn’t sound that bad until you’re in it, and it really wasn’t that bad after I met him. It was so stupid how it all started. Someone broke my laptop charger and of course I have the weirdest laptop on the whole entire planet, so no one had the same charger as me. When I was asking around, they all told me that they thought this boy had the same model laptop as me. Desperate...

I knew there was something weird about today, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. There was nothing out of the ordinary that happened. I had to wake up DUMB early for work, do some origami (don’t ask), walked around the little shopping center, took my pup to get his first professional grooming, and took a nap. Oh! I also found $20, so that was cool. Almost cool enough to make a sunny and warm day a whole lot better, but it didn’t. All day I found myself craving to get these words out about a boy that I never thought would still be on my mind to this day. This relationship thing was the first thing I got into after I went through a really hard time with my breakup from the guy I wrote my last blog about. It was the most unexpected thing ever. We had known each other throughout the entirety of my high school career, but it was this one night that changed everything. It was a Halloween party and mannnnn did I look cute! But anyway, I was in a pretty bad situation on this particu...

I am feeling a lot of love in my heart tonight and I feel like this is the best time to talk about the relationship that motivated me and taught me the best things about life and got me to step out of my comfort zone in the best way possible. I wish I could disclose his name because the amount of gratitude that I have in my heart for him is unmatched because of the way he treated me and the things he taught me. I want to start by reminiscing about the early times of our relationship. We were quite an odd couple in the eyes of basically everyone, as we ran in two completely different circles and we honestly probably wouldn’t have met each other if it wasn’t for the fact that I was hiding from a creepy guy at the fair! I don’t know what it was about him that made my heart smile and made me appreciate every aspect of life all day, every day. He made me the best version of myself. It was sooooo out of my social norm to date someone like him. I was 16, so I was at an extremely stubb...
