The Marrero Chronicles

Today marks a special decision made about my life, and I couldn't be more excited. When it comes down to dating, it can take someone their whole life to actually find who they want to be with forever, and for almost six years, I've pushed that person away due to the fear of one day losing him. For anyone that would tell us to wait and to watch what we're deciding because we're in the "honeymoon phase" of our relationship, they couldn't be more wrong because it's not a honeymoon phase. We know everything about each other, we love each other, and we're chasing the life we are longing for, and not once since we've been dating have I ever doubted us and neither has he.

This is what we want, and we're chasing it and we're SO excited!

In the past, I have realized that I tried to forge a future that I wanted with the person I am with now, with anyone else because I was submerged in my fear of losing the love I had with him, and it took a long time but I learned from that, and now here we are. Dedicated, in love, and one hundred percent making the effort to forging our future together. We have come so far in such a small amount of time and I am so very proud of us. As individuals, as a couple, we are strong. I'm curious to see where our life takes us together. I'm ready to face it all with him. I never would have thought I could ever be this happy in my life. I remember what it is to smile, to laugh again. To dream big things, to strive to accomplish our goals. To plan for the future. This is everything we have ever wanted, and we have it.

Not so much the love story in a children's fairy tale book, but this is as magical as it gets. From the moment we met in ninth grade, I knew for a fact I'd want him in my life forever, and now we get to be each other's forevers. This is one of those times where I'm amused by how crazy life can be. To be so close and yet so far all at the same time for years. To watch the love of my life grow as a person, and learn about his interests, and watch him love. It's been such an honor to meet him so young. It's been a dream to know him so well. With us there is no doubt, and every bit of faith as there is love within and between us.

I know every relationship has their obstacles, and I welcome them, because I know nothing can separate us. We have a connection so deep, that no one would understand but us. I'm ready for everything life has to offer us- whether it be arguing over the color of our fence, or debating if our children should have middle names, whether one of gets sick or we lose all our savings, I know as long as we have each other that life will be good.

And for anyone that's reading this and wondering if you're with the person you're meant to spend forever with, here is some advice.

When you know, you really do know.

There is no denying it, there is no doubt. Once you meet them, whether you are together or not you will feel it in your heart and you will think just as I did that day in the beginning of September;

"This person will be in my life forever."

And they will. ♥️
