On the twenty fifth of this month, it will be my boyfriend Skylar and I’s six month...

On the twenty fifth of this month, it will be my boyfriend Skylar and I’s six month anniversary. He lives in Maryland and I live in California which is around 2,700 miles apart. We met on Tumblr in December of 2010 when he followed me and I decided to send him an ask, thanking him for following me. Come the second week of the new year, we started talking a lot over AIM and ever since the night of January fourteenth, we’ve been inseparable. We talked every single day this year up until I was sent away the last week of September, but that isn’t a very big part of this story. He’s been hospitalized numerous times (way more than I can count) this year and is usually there for other reasons as well. But because of him, I realized that for every reason you can find to be sad about, there’s about fifteen to be happy about. I went through a lot of really terrible issues this year and I know for a fact that without him, I wouldn’t be alive today. He’s been told too many times than I’m proud of this year that he wouldn’t make it but it’s already almost the end of the year and he’s standing strong. He always reminds me of how important I am and although I’m still struggling with issues every single day, he makes it incredibly worth it. I’m graduating from a two year college soon and plan on moving to the east to be with this kid. These past six months have been some of the hardest of my life by far and with Skylar helping me through all this, it inspires me to be a better person in so many ways. He gives me the courage I need to keep living day by day and because of the wonderful person he is, I’m actually excited to live my life which is really not something that I normally am happy about. We’ve been told by so many people that this wouldn’t last and that we won’t make it but I know in my heart that we can, and we will.There has been way too many obstacles to count that we’ve faced and it’s been hard as hell but knowing I get to keep him as my own, I know everything will be okay. He is the most amazing person I have ever met and he makes me so proud every single day by living through the constant pain he always has to go through and because of that, he’s continuing to grow stronger and stronger as each day passes. From looking for each other on Saturday nights on Omegle video, to talking about the important things in life and more importantly, the phone calls where the silence spoke words louder than anything either of us could have said, he has been the best thing that has ever happened to me and no matter what, I’ll always remind him of it. He’s my Aladdin forever and always, and I love him all the way to Pluto and back xinfinity. Never ever give up on the person you really love because if you really care about them as much as you do, nothing, and I really mean nothing, should ever come between you two. And also, if you have your significant other within arms reach of you, NEVER ever, ever, ever take that for granted. When you’re in a long distance relationship, you appreciate those small kisses and hand holding so much more so if you actually get to experience that, hold onto it with all you have.
