Once upon a time I met my “once upon a time.” She was my best friend, my love and soulmate. We understood each other on a whole other level and we would talk for hours about anything. We shared our deepest secrets, our hopes and our dreams. She was the type of person that changed my whole world and I fell in love… I made a lot of sacrifices, l put my whole world on pause just to be with her. She was worth it. I was in love and it was amazing. It was like one of those love stories that you watch at the movies and for once I was completely happy. It all seemed like a dream. One day I flew up to see her and gave her this. I told her that I loved her and that I didn’t want to be with anyone else. (Only I wrote a cheesy song) I told her she was the only person I wanted to share my popcorn at the movies with. The only person I want to wake up next to, especially on those lazy Sunday mornings. She was the only person I wanted to spend my life with and she said “yes.” One of the happiest days of my life most def. But unfortunately not every fairy tale has a happy ending. For whatever reason she drifted away and things ended. I was never really the crying type but I just couldn’t help but cry…. Because I never loved a woman the way I loved her… And the fact that we weren’t together really crushed me. Over time things got a little better. I realized that no matter how hard you hold on, you can’t keep someone who doesn’t hold on to you. Sometimes you just have to let go and have faith that you will end up with the person who will fight for you as much as you fight for them… At least she has this engagement ring to remind her of the great times we’ve shared and I hope she never forgets just how much I really love her…  #truestoryTuesday

To the man that taught me how to be a man. Thank you for working 3 jobs and busting your butt to make sure I could watch cartoons on my own TV. Thank you for always making sure I had lunch money growing up and for cracking hilarious jokes when I was down. I get my talents and my sense of humor from you! The words “I love you” doesn’t seem sufficient to express how truly grateful and blessed I am that I get to call you dad. Happy Father’s Day dad! (at Original Thai BBQ & Restaurant)

“You know I’m really glad I met you Jerome. No joke. Do you know what I so remember about you? It was freshman year. And we had just finished taking either an anatomy or physio test. I walked out of the humanities building in my pajamas, with my hair all gross because I hadn’t taken a shower that day, and absolutely defeated since I did so shitty on that test. and you looked at me (you didn’t really know me then…I didn’t talk to anyone freshman year) and you said “you look like you need a hug” and you hugged me. That was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. And I’m not even joking.”


Thats a little bit about me. =)

“I did everything… just to be your anything….”
— why wasn’t that enough?
