This is the first picture we took as a couple
Jakob and I first met August 11, 2009. We were introduced through a mutual friend. Our friend suggested he get to know me. Unfortunately, I was already interested in someone else at the time. It wasn’t until around eight months later, after this other guy and I broke up, that Jakob and I talked again.
I had been in an up and down relationship with another guy for a while until one day he suggested we take a break. He was my first and only heart break. I turned my phone off, put my computer away, and wouldn’t leave the house. I would sleep through the days and stay up nights crying. I didn’t want anything to do with anyone. It wasn’t until about a few weeks later that I forced myself to get back into reality.
I logged on to MySpace for the first time since the break (this was when MySpace was still “cool”) and what do I find right when I log on? A status update from my ex. While we were together we promised not to post our numbers on the internet. So obviously what do I find when I log on? I find his number and him asking girls to “hit him up” (right). So I figured two can play this game and then proceeded to post my number up as well. Not more than five minutes later I get a text from a number I don’t know saying, “Hey!” After we start talking I learned that it was Jakob, the boy my friend introduced me to eight months prior. He eventually asks me to hang out. I text my friend asking what I should do, he obviously tells me I need to give it a shot and that Jakob’s a really great guy.
The next day I find myself at the beach with Jakob. Our first date was a 5 mile walk around the beach, talking and getting to know one another. A few weeks later we were boyfriend and girlfriend. It’s been a year and a half later and I’ve never been happier.
I spent so much time looking for love, when in the end, it found me <3
