Reflecting
on this past year is like reflecting on a whole other person. When I started
2015 I was still in the position of a kid, living at home, lonely, and I
thought I was ok with all that…till I found out I wasn’t.
My longtime
best friend Shannon finally moved to Texas in Feb. after 14 long years of
trying to convince her. I honestly figured she’d get here and once the newness
of having her here wore off we’re each go our own ways…hang out a lot of course…but
ultimately have our own lives. That isn’t at all what happened. Once she was
here the ‘newness’ never wore off. The more time we were together the more time
I wanted with her.
I spent most
of the year thinking I was in love with a boy I couldn’t have…until it finally
became so very clear it wasn’t him I was in love with him…I was in love with
Shannon. And blessed Aphrodite, she actually loved me too.
It took me 8
months to finally admit it but once I did things have never been the same.
Although
thing haven’t been the same since I moved out of my mom’s. After a bit of a
rough patch with my mom I ended up moving in with Shannon and then we ended up
getting our own apartment.
Yeah, I
guess I did things backwards…I moved in with her, got a joint bank account, and
then we got together.
In the end I
ended up with a girlfriend, a stepdaughter, and a need to grow up I never had.
I’m still adjusting to it all but I wouldn’t change a thing.
I’m happier
than I ever knew I could be and that’s all because of Shannon. I guess 2015 was
the year of Shannon and I can’t wait to see what 2016 brings as we embark on
our first full year together. I’ve never been so in love and things are only
going to get better.
Happy New
Year!!!!
