Love is unpredictable. This is certainly true for me this summer. My love life has been a true roller coaster -- full of ups and downs. Well, my was the other way around...the downs came first. As mentioned in previous posts, Casey and I broke up early this summer. We spent several months going our separate ways, but something always seemed to come up that kept us talking the whole time.
I was so heartbroken, but I kept telling mom that if it was truly over I would feel it in my heart. I referenced a line delivered in the movie "Anne of Green Gables, The Continuing Story." Her husband goes overseas during WWI and cannot be found. She says, "If Gil was truly dead, surely I would feel it in my heart." Now, there was not physical death in my relationship, but I just knew there was more to our story.
I have considered this summer a minor speed bump in a three year journey. So many people in my life have told me that they too hit the three year mark and took time apart. I guess it comes to a realization that this is real, and sometimes that is a hard concept to grasp. We're still young, still finding our paths in this life, and so what if it took us a few stop and go's to get there? We are so much stronger than I can remember, and have grown so much during this process.
I am so glad that we are working this through, and I love being with him. He makes me laugh, he picks on me to no end and I aggravate the hell out of him. =)
Three years down...many more to come!
