Love Letter to My Younger Self

To the little girl who doesn't think she's pretty because boys don't always pick her first, love isn't hard to find, those boys just aren't the right ones. You grow up with a kind of weird personality and an exotic imagination, you try to be normal and fit in. I wish you could know that back then things will get better for you later on. You grow up with a boyfriend here or there, but nothing really clicks.

One day you meet a guy, he's short and sweet and cute as could be. You start as friends and you wish for something more. Then one day he asks you out and things start out well. He doesn't say he loves you on the first date because he wants to wait until he means it; you love that he is patient. After about six dates, he tells you he loves you and you love him too. You felt this almost electrical connection. You don't kiss until a month and you have never met someone who wanted to take it slow and you enjoy every moment. Falling more and more in love.

One day things slowly start to change, you still feel the love, but he doesn't seem as interested as when you first met, and now you're coming up on Valentine's Day and he finally tells you that he wants to end the relationship because he no longer loves you. You take it pretty hard, and don't want to let go. But times moves on, and so does he. When you pass him by you try and say hi, but he just stays quiet and moves along. It hurts that now you can't even talk. You think you will never move on and it hurts all over again when you see him just pass you by.

Time goes on and life moves slow, you change your hair, and try new things. Then one day you meet someone charming and funny. He makes you blush and feel special. He asks to take you on a date, anywhere you would like. You hesitate, but kindly accept. Y'all begin to go out and things go well. He takes you out and says nice things. He makes you laugh. You finally think you are ready to give your all and love with all your heart.

You move in together and things are going wonderful. Spending time talking, playing, and watching movies. Everything is happy and he treats you better than you could ever imagine. And in just a few short years, y'all get married and you know that even though you went through some tough times you really can love again.

After being married for a year your blessed with twins, a girl and a boy. Your life is going great. You are living your dream life, you quit your job, and now you're a stay at home mom. Love was tough, but it will always find you.
