We are all trees, and he is my water. I know that sounds very cliche, and I am not saying I can't live without him. What I am saying is he helps me grow endlessly, just like how water helps a tree grow. This is not something I noticed right away, and I didn't wake up one morning and say, “Wow! I am going to be a better person!”, because that is not how it works.
I have to admit that my freshman and sophomore year were the roughest years of my life. The most mistakes I made occurred during that short period of time, and even till this day I make mistakes, but I am more aware. I am aware of who I want myself to be. I am aware of what I truly want in life. I am aware of how I want to be known. He has helped me through all the accepting, and I thank him everyday for that.
I could easily be saying he makes me a better person because that is what every typical girl says about her boyfriend, but there is real evidence of this! My GPA is the highest it has ever been my whole entire high school career, I actually enjoy helping people out, I don't spend my nights making memories I will not remember the next day, and I am confident. To this day I am the tallest I've ever been because of him.
I've come to realize that you should not invest yourself into people that drag you down and keep you from growing. Your mistakes do help you grow, but life's more pleasant when you grow from the positive experiences. You want your relationships to nourish you in knowledge, love, and mental success. With that you shall grow.
I feel your blog! These past years I have had friends that I thought I could have counted on. They would take care of me but encouraged me to do bad things. They were all proud of me getting accepted to colleges but inside i knew they did not have the plans. I recently choose to cut them out of my life. After I did my views on life have changed more positively. The types of people you choose to be around out can impact your life negatively or positively. I truly do hope the positive vibes continue throughout your life.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! This was super cute! I think it is really cool that you are able to open up, realize, and admit that you have had rough patches in your life; we all have. I am really glad that you were able to find yourself and happiness with the help of him.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are perfect for each other and I know you will be together for a long long time!
Always being a romantic. Honestly this post puts out s beautiful message that needs to be more prominent in our society. Negativity can come from all sources, and many allow themselves to be surrounded and consumed by negative people. I agree with you that it is key to maintain people in your life that push you and lift you up beyond your normal limits, opposed to bringing you down. Great blog.
ReplyDeleteI love your writing style! Even though you and Isaac make me want to vomit this is so cute. It’s incredible how much you two do for each other and seeing you both grow as people is what I find the most remarkable. I have known you two for a while and I consider you both great friends of mine and I love seeing how much you guys effortlessly help each other mold into better human beings and I think that is truly what it is all about. You stick it to the man who says young people can’t be in love, because honestly in the most true and pure way, it is obvious you are, and it is not the petty skin deep love that is so common, it is genuine, and it is refreshing to see young people working at something real together.
