9/20/17

You asked me if I believed in soulmates once and I said no. The truth is at one point I did, at another point I didn't, sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. 

My feelings for you make these types of conversations nerve-wracking. 

What I do believe in is that love is a feeling and love is a choice. It's the butterflies and the excitement and the nerves, it's the choice to lean in and explore all of it. 

It's the choice to nurture that feeling into a partnership. 

I want to be with someone who wants to be with me, not just through the easy times but through obstacles, through the unknown, through the uncertainty, because I'm looking for a marathon not a sprint. 

I hear how painful things were for you before, and I would do anything to take away that experience, to take away that hurt, 

If I could do the same for my own scars, I would. 

But, that's not how life works. 

And this is a new path forward, not the past repeating itself.
