19 - love

Quite unexpectedly, I met a guy this summer and fell in love. When I say "fell", I mean "FELL". Hard. I adore this guy of mine. He makes me feel safe, smart and beautiful. He makes me laugh. He makes me want to be a better version of myself. I think about him all the time and curse my school schedule for keeping me from seeing him as often as I'd like. He's seen me at my most goofy and my most stressed and he loves all of it. We've gone on three mini-trips together and not once did I think "I need some space" (very unusual for me) - it was more like "I don't want this to end." I have no idea how or why the gods conspired so I could meet this man, but I am so thankful that D is part of my life.
