Three Years and Five Months ♥

It has been eight solid years since I first had a taste of falling in love with a man who, obviously became my first true love. :)

At 16, I was innocently young and timid. I had a low self-esteem, mainly because I had severe acne breakouts then. I felt ugly and rejected. Though I have known several people from school, I was never comfortable talking to them other than my own group of friends, who I, thankfully, still keep in touch with today. Every day of my life, I have been sticking with these craaaaazy people until that day when that one person came and changed everything that I got used to.

I must admit, my world revolved around him alone. He became my best friend. My partner. My everything. 

Three years and five months later, he ended what seemed like a relationship full of potential to even last, way beyond those years.

It was, indeed, my first heartbreak. :(

That same year, I met my mature love. It may have been too fast of a recovery, but I would say he came at the most perfect time. The more I was happy because we had so much in common and every day became a surprise as we continued to unveil more fun revelations from each other. We were so happy back then.

But see, it was not the same blissful cycle every day and my faith was again tested in the middle of a preparation for a Nurse Licensure Examination. He broke up with me and left for Manila. He left me hoping that someday soon, I knew he will be back. I risked and made myself wait patiently. It was the hardest but I endured everything. I tried to go on with my review claiming for positive results from the November 2009 Board Examination. I had no one but God, family, and friends. :)

I continued praying for him as much as I have been praying hard for the Board result. No one knew, except God. 


Christmas 2009 became one of the happiest Christmases ever! Looking back, I couldn't stop myself from being so thankful because God indeed answered what my heart was really longing for. He came home for good. You could just imagine how everything was falling into its proper place because by February, I became a Registered Nurse. Yay! Now, isn't that enough proof that our God is an AMAZING GOD? :)

Going back, it became hard for us and for both families, as well, especially for the first few months that we have been trying to fix things in our relationship. No one said it will be easy but with the help of prayers, love, and most importantly, trust, what's nice is that we still have each other until this very day, 16th of March 2012 - three years and five months, since we started a love story that may not have been so perfect, but definitely worth keeping for. ♥
