We're better together!
This whole year has gone by so quickly already and I can't even believe July is ending in a matter of days. It seems to me, that the older you get the quicker time flies by. If we are not conscious enough, it passes us by far too quickly. Any who! I found this challenge, since I have been all about creative writing challenges for the past few months, and I decided, what the hell? Although this challenge is called #letteritjuly and is hosted by @jennymaiedae, I figured I'd use the opportunity to write about it on my blog instead.
So here it goes. Today's writing challenge is called, "We're better together," and that could not be more true. Without being too open about my relationship, because I like to keep it as sacred and private to just he and I as I can (it is OUR relationship), I'll start with this; he has saved me in more ways than I can count and in more ways than he'll ever know.
I am an Aries. He is a Scorpio. On paper, we are not the best match. The stars did not align astrologically for us; we are total opposites; he is a guy, I am a girl, you get the gist. I love astrology now, thanks to my good friend who is the guru of all astrological, horoscope stuff. But I don't believe in the love matches and what have you. I do believe that certain characteristics of each sign do relate to some people I know. I am a total Aries. He is pretty much a total Scorpio, without the whole jealousy, possessive vibe, cause that's just crazy.
But together, I strongly believe, we are better. I have fought a long and excruciatingly heavy battle with insecurity and fear for as long as I can remember. Past relationships always left me feeling gravely unloved and even more insecure; always being someone I was not, just to please someone who wanted me to change to please them. My idea of love and relationships was scarred by the relationships I saw growing up and the pain of those relationships that affected the people I love most.
Then, at 21, I wanted to start over. I wanted a new life, a new adventure, and so I went. At 21, I had no idea what the hell life had in store for me. I had grown up believing I would never find someone who could love me, truly and deeply, just as I was. And then my Scorpio struck my heart in the best way and thus here we are, almost eight years later.
He sees me as this woman who is beautiful, brave, courageous, smart, talented, funny, strong, and real. And in the many moments I have not seen myself in his eyes, a quick look is all I need to know that I am a better person because of his presence in my life. He braved the rough waters and edgy walls, and just loved me. He took my insecurity and fears into his hands and said, "fuck em, you are much more than that." And because of this, our weirdness, our differences, our love for each other, our personal space, and our individuality, get to bloom and grow each day. And when life just fucking sucks at times, we are there, just he and I, just us two, riding the waves one bump at a time. It's the balance we have created together to help the other when one is down; when shit hits the fan.
He and I. Weirdos till the end.
