Finding Mr Perfect
Relationships come and relationships go, but there comes a time when everyone finds their prince or princess. Through middle school and high school many will date numerous people trying to find the perfect one when in reality we are unable to put the perfect guy or girl right there when we want it, but that God will put them into our lives when the time is right for us. I am very fortunate to say that I have already found my Mr. Perfect. I met this guy my freshman year in high school right after moving to a small beach town three hours away from where I grew up. When I first started dating him though, I never thought anything about it other than that dating him would be an easy way to meet people and give me someone to hang out with on the weekends in this new town I was living in. Surprisingly though after just a few short weeks I began to realize that he was more than just a guy and much more than just a friend, in fact he was my boyfriend and someone I truly loved and cared about. It got to the point where he was all I could think about, the only person I wanted to talk to, and the only person I ever wanted to hang out with. Quickly though I realized that although I was super happy to have met my Mr. Perfect I was letting him take over my life where I was not allowing time for other friends or family. After living in the small town for about a year I then had to move clear across the country to Georgia for my dads job. At first I thought that was the worst thing that my family could make me do by leaving my boyfriend, but after my boyfriend and I talked a lot we realized that if we truly did love each other as much as we thought distance would work and we would still be just as happy even if we did miss each other and only got to see each other a couple times a year. We both saw me moving as a challenge we could face to see if we truly were in love and meant to be. Once moving we learned very quickly the struggles of making each other happy and having time for each other with a three hour time difference was incredibly hard, but that anything is possible if you're determined. Through many bumps in our relationship we have learned that while being in a long distance relationship the most important things are trust, faith, and time for each other. As long as the two of us have faith and trust in each other and our relationship we can make it through anything now. We have now been together for three years and two of them have been long distance and we wouldn't change it for the world. I would tell anyone who is in a relationship where they feel they have met their other half to do anything they have to in order to stay together even if it does mean distance. I truly feel loved and happy everyday and want many others to feel the same way.
