I recently got to catch up with an old friend. I learned that she's loving her new life she's made out west, making new friends, going to school, and holding many jobs. On top of all of that, she is also dating a boy that she is falling in love with. Hearing her tell me about him and about their times together just brought a huge smile across my face. I love hearing people I care about are either in love or falling in love. It's such a great and exciting feeling to be going through. I told her that I was so happy and proud of her, and I really am. Even while writing this post thinking about all the happiness she was sharing with me is bringing a smile to my face.
Love is definitely hard, but if it was easy it wouldn't be worth it.
After the recent events that I have gone through with a relationship myself, you would think I would be spiteful or upset to see my friend glowing with such happiness. However, my feelings are the exact opposite. My experience with love was and is wonderful. My first love was one for the books, it didn't have a fairy tale ending but the journey that was shared was indeed wonderful. And to see a friend that I truly care about go through this journey of love with someone she cares for can only bring happiness to myself also.
I hope for her that she has the absolute best journey with him, whether it ends in happiness or ends in disaster it's how you deal with the journey that makes it all worth it. I hope that you all get to experience a journey with someone you care for also... I'd like to end this post with some of my favorite lyrics from Avicii - Wake Me Up.
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
