I don't have all the answers for what love is or what it looks like. All I know is that my version of love looks like laughter, looks like messy kitchens, looks like three toothbrushes in the mason jar on the bathroom counter, and boat rides with the kid and the dog and a picnic basket at sunset. ⠀ ⠀ Sometimes love looks like loud voices and angry frowns. Sometimes it's sighs of exasperation and frustration, followed by storming feet across the hall. Sometimes love looks like patience and sometimes it looks like craziness. Sometimes it's quiet and sometimes it's loud. ⠀ ⠀ All I know is that love is there; it's present. ⠀ Every morning and every night, love remains. ⠀ ⠀ And I will choose it, and choose them. ⠀ Over and over and over and over again.⠀ ⠀ #iwillchooseyou⠀ #lovestory⠀ #ourlittlelovestory⠀ #marisadonnelly⠀ #momishmoments⠀ #blendedfamily (at San Diego Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2gNlWlEJ5/?igshid=2k7hz5v7j10x

I look at things like this and it makes me sad…. we were each other’s best friends. you made me so incredibly happy. I was comfortable around. you knew my deepest darkest secrets. You were and always will be the love of my life…. where did it all go wrong ? when did the happiness become heartbreak? when did we become enemies? when did we fall out of love? 6 months ago was when we ended us. 5 years of you being in my life came to a sudden stop. we don’t even speak to each other now unless one of us is intoxicated or unless we hear something heartbreaking about one another…. I look at you and still see the man I feel in love with years ago. I still see the man who brought so much joy into my life. I still see the man I love…. but lately, I don’t know who you’ve become or what’s wrong with you. I cry all the time bc I lost my best friend. I lost the one person who made me feel whole….I lost the person who brought a smile to my face….I lost you and you’re never coming back…..

Our Little Love Story: How We Met

The first time I met him, I didn't see him.  Well, I saw him, but I didn't allow myself to see him.  I was in a relationship.  A long, tense, unhealthy relationship with someone I thought I could "make it work" with (because that's what I thought love meant).  And that someone was in the middle of causing a scene at our friends' wedding, yelling at me because he wanted to sit at a different table.  I looked at the other tables, filled with happy couples, chatting and celebrating.  He was sitting at one of those tables, smiling at his wife.  Wonder what that's like, I thought.

The second time I met him, I still didn't see him, but coincidentally I was in his house.  This was a few years later, and I was still in that same unhealthy relationship.  Some of my friends had been staying with hi​m.  They were my "lost boys," always couch hopping or moving, always searching for something without knowing what it was they were looking for.  Somehow, they ended up dropping anchor at his house for awhile.  I was angry,--undoubtedly about something to do with my relationship--so they invited me over to vent.  He walked by, and my friend said, "See.  It's not all that bad.  It could be worse.  You could be like him.  His wife just cheated on him and left."  I said my condolences and wondered why this sort of thing always happens to the good ones.  Even then, I still didn't see him.  Frustration kept my judgement clouded.

But the third time we crossed paths, I finally saw him.  From across the bar, we exchanged smiles.   I had ended my relationship, and was "happily single," which is what I told the men who tried to ask me out.  I wanted to take a year and a day to build my relationship with myself before I tried to have a relationship with anyone else again.  I was focusing on my spiritual path, finding, and learning to love my true self.  That being said, we continued to just smile at each other from across the bar.  

Sunday nights at the Pub were Trivia nights.  We were on separate teams until my teammate stopped coming.  So, I asked him if I could join his team.  We started to become more familiar with each other.  From that point on, we couldn't keep ourselves away.

When he eventually asked me to go see a movie with him on the following Friday (which is a great story for another time), I almost said "no."  I was so used to saying, "Sorry, I'm happily single" that I almost didn't realize my year and a day of no dating ended exactly on that Friday.

I accepted.  

I laughed and told him (at the risk of sounding utterly insane) how "timing was perfect, as always."  (You see, I believe that Time is our ally, and if we honor and respect it, it will always work in our favor.)  After I explained that my year and a day would be up on the day of our first date, his eyes widened.  "You're kidding," he said.  "It'll be a year since I've gone on a date, too!"

Coincidence.  Magic.  Fate.  It doesn't matter what you call it.  Our lives were always intertwined.  I had met my soulmate.

My little love story

I remember the night I met you. I remember it better than anything else. I remember what you wore. I remember every detail. And I’m about to tell you. So here it goes. Me and Siarra went skating. I was vry vry vry high. On several things. Let’s just say that day wasn’t very good. Me and Siarra get to skating and Justin and billy are there. I didnt really talk to them that much at the time. So I just kinda let Siarra go and do her own thing. I think they had realized at this point that I wasn’t my normal self. Billy had told me I was being annoying and I just went off and skated by myself. I went to find a new group of people to, and you were in that group of people. You were wearing black skinny jeans, a white  tshirt with something printed in it, and a black beanie. I just remember talking to you a lot that night. I remember stealing your beanie, and you had to chase me down. I remember talking to you all night. We played 20 questions, and I found out you were half unicorn, I freaked out, and asked you to marry me. I remember telling you I was gonna wear skinny jeans to our wedding, and you said you were okay with that. I remember waking up the next morning with siarra , and is rereading the text messages and freaking out. I remember talking about you to her for weeks after that. I though about you all the time. You never left my head. Then one day you showed back up at skating, and I finally figured you out. I didn’t think any else about you. You were still the same person I was crushing very hard on. I remember you drawing boobies in my notebook. I remember coming home and talking to you more. I remember the first time we skyped. I remember not being able to wait till skating. So I could see you. Hug you. Talk to you. I remember when Carolline kissed you, and how hurt I was. How pissed off at her I was. I cried a lot tbh. I think it was the next Wednesday I told you I was crushing on you. How I got my laptop taken up right after that.. Not knowing what you had said was killing me. I remember Siarra was our messenger for a few days. I remember getting to skating that Saturday, and you asking me out through a note..which i still have, and its really cute. I remember which game booth our first kiss was at. I swore I could’ve told you I loved right then, and there. I remember writing all the time about you. Dreaming of you. I remember going 2 weeks without seeing you. I remember all the breakdowns about mom around Christmas you helped me through.. I remember when I first realized  I was falling in love with you. Siarra was the first person I told. I remember you coming to my house that weekend. I was gonna tell you. I was shaking so bad. Bc tbh I thought it was gonna be a thing. It wasn’t gonna last, but it did, and I’m vry thankful to every higher power there is that it did last. Bc tbh I have no idea where I would be without you. I’d probably be dead. I remember how I told you. Exactly what I said. Exactly what you said. I remember how we both broke down that night. How i realized just how strong you really are. How much I need you. How much you need me. How much we need each other. How you can't leave. How I would shut down. I remember it all. Everything about you. Don't ask me how idk. I just know you cant leave. Bc i need this love story to continue. That I'm not done writing it yet. I also know this isn't Amy romantic stuff. But its our little love story and I wouldn't change it for anything.
