To the last one
being someone’s first love holds a special place in their heart, however to be their last transcends boundaries and stands the test of time. Marriage, while not devoid of challenges and obstacles, becomes a journey navigated hand in hand with the right person.
The idea of love is not enough for a couple to survive, not all marriages will have a happily ever like a Disney movie. In today’s society, the value of a true partnership is becoming less and less of a priority. The expectations are high and the rate of return isn’t equal, so many are opting either to be single or have something casual.
I still believe that a happy long-term relationship is possible, however it takes a lot of hard work to stay together and I am lucky enough to have great examples like my parents. Some people are lucky enough to meet their lifetime companion after a few dates, while some, myself included are on Season 10, episode 12.
I don’t know who I’ll end up with and I guess that’s part of the adventure of life. When I will meet you, I hope you know that I’m going to have my walls up. I’ll try to tell myself not to question everything and choose to believe, but I know I’d be lying.
I won’t open my heart to you immediately, it’s been broken once too many times. I am not going to integrate you into my life, invite you to events, and introduce you to my friends until things are serious.
I hope we last, but for the lessons from all my prior relationships. I don’t want good memories tainted with remnants of our relationship, I don’t want to have to delete photos of me because you are in it, and I certainly don’t want you to have the opportunity to keep ties with my friends when we end.
I will hesitate to say yes to every date. I will hesitate to trust a word you say including the fact that you say you love me.
It’s nothing against you, it’s just because I’m completely afraid of being hurt again. I do believe in love and that’s what keeps me going.
I won’t be easy to catch, as one date said, I’m like a butterfly. But once you do and I choose to commit, I will do everything I can to make you happy. I am extremely loving, caring and loyal to a fault. I will make every day exciting, fun, and full of adventure. I will budget our finances so we never worry about money, but enjoy life to its fullest.
I am that girl who will have a nice meal ready for you when you come home, but at the same time I have my own career, hobbies, and life. I can make friends with anyone and I truly will be that person who cares about your family. You can take me to any event and I’ll be the life of the party.
See you at a later date (TBD).
