How I did it: this love story took basically almost 7 years now ^_^
he was my very first boyfriend, but that only lasted 2 weeks. We were both so young...I was only a freshman and he was a sophomore in high school. We stopped talking for 3 years. Within those 3 years, we'd run into each other once in a while but it was always awkward. He got into a serious relationship and I learned to let go of him. I finally reached college when both of us became mature enough to start talking to each other again. We dated again for 7 months before we finally decided to make it official. I thought that making it official was what 'love' was...but it was the 'staying strong' part that truly defined 'love' for me. We've gone through plenty of rough patches in our relationship. We've had 2 break-ups and yet we're still standing strong together today. I realized that I'd rather argue with him all day than to be peaceful with someone else that I could care less for.

Lessons & tips: I learned that in life anything worth having doesn't come easy...the harder you fall, the more gratifying the love is. set pride and whatever everybody else thinks about the decisions you make, you should only answer to yourself, who knows what makes YOU happy more than yourself?
