I truly believe that love is one of the most intense feelings that can make a person lose their sanity if it was ever broken. Love is that feeling of both happiness but yet fear. Love brings you that happiness and the fear of ever losing it. I believe that one of the biggest fears in people are to live alone and never find true love.

Love has changed my life dramatically. My very first love I ever had was the most tensed. When my heart got broken, it took me four years to even try and date again. I wasn't able to get the closure from him at all and it drove me insane. It damaged me for the longest time ever. I felt as if I had lost my mind and fell 6 feet under the ground. It caused me to waste four years of my life waiting for him. When my heart was broken, I used to do so much that I have regretted such as drinking and taking pills because I knew at least if I was sleeping, I couldn't feel the pain any more. for the three years out of the four, I had to see three different doctors a week. A counselor, a drug and alcohol doctor and a Pschyiatrist. I was suppose to be put on medication for severe depression but I didn't want too because I knew I was having a pill problem to begin with and I wanted to try and better myself and not make everything worse.

After four years, I started hanging out with this guy next door. He knew my brothers from high school and my brother's knew him. They all went to school together and such. So just as friends, we went out and just did stuff together. We hung out for 2 years straight. We would sit there and wait on each others porches of our apartments every day until one of us got home from work. When I started hanging out with him, he was the only person I ever even hung out with. When I mean every day, I seriously mean every single day and we never got sick of each other. We both took our time just as friends and became my best friend. Finally the third year, we basically got together. I can't tell you now how happy I have been. It has been over a year and we are a very strong happy couple with a beautiful baby on the way. He has helped me through so much in my life and I don't even know where I would be without him. Not only he's a great boyfriend but he has always been an outstanding best friend and I love the fact now that he is both. We been together for over a year now and we have not yet even had one single fight. We both are very open and honest with each other and I know we love each other truly.

Love has done a great deal to me, good and bad emotionally. I have learned from love that, when you love somebody so much, never let it go. I learned to appreciate the love you have and be happy every day and every minute. Spend as much time with him like it is your last. I know that we are truly meant to be together because It's not that I can picture living with him and being with him forever. I can't picture my life without him. He is my everything, he's my shoulder, my strength, my world. He is my everything and now I couldn't be much happier.
