Yesterday was Ty's birthday. 22. We found a bed on craigslist and through the magic that is my phones internet we got in contact with the woman and managed to get a time set up to buy said bed. 1 Full size mattress and box spring + approximately 1 mile in distance from bed to our apt. - 1 car = Dwindling blood sugar, raised voices, arguing, sweat, laughter and companionship. I thought a long time ago that there was no one in the world I could get through jams with and then I landed this great catch. And I am so glad I did.
We somehow managed to move this bed in two trips without dying, killing each other or losing it (completely) and then I took Ty out for a delicious Italian dinner and when I looked at him across the table everything else just faded away and I fell in love with this boy all over again.
Allow me to get slightly sentimental here.
I met Ty during a time when I thought I would never meet anyone who could complete me. He wooed me and confused me, loved me instantly and more than I ever witnessed anyone loving anyone before. He found perfection in me that I couldn't even see in myself and I hurt him. I turned around and really hurt this person, and why? I don't know. Because I couldn't believe in what he saw. I couldn't think of myself as that good a person. But I was a good person, a person who deserved this kind of love from someone else. I deserved the kind of person who drives you home after knowing you 2 weeks so that you can be with your family when your dog dies. I deserved the love this person could give so willingly, even after knowing it would probably be hard and painful. And I realized that I had made a mistake, had taken him for granted, but that I also loved him and I almost realized this all too late.
Then at a stupid, college dance, I saw him again, looking undeniably handsome and I hugged him and made him dance with me. We held hands and didn't say much at all. Just smiled at each other. And he took me back.
I don't ever want to do anything to jepordize this kind of love and I will never take it for granted again. We do stupid stuff as humans, creatures of desire that we are. But when I see this person, When I look at Ty across from me, or next to me as I wake in the morning, I see the most wonderful person in the world. The only person I ever want to love.
Now that everyone hates me. Here's a cool lil' sumptin':
woohoo winter gala! haha
