Sometime last year, I submitted something about my boyfriend… but even now things are different! To sum that up, we have had such a struggle to make our relationship work for almost 4 years. Well, that all changed last spring. I was a freshman, he was a senior…. I was seriously IN LOVE with this guy… everyone just thought I was just a naive little girl… but little did they know, he was feelin’ it too! It was hard because no one can ever accept the age. He was seriously the greatest guy I knew, we were all really close friends and we hung out a lot. In fact, the first time we met was at youth group… they moved us to the back and I talked his ear off. Well, that summer was the best… he is a total country boy and we went to this river spot every day. He would take me on top of this rooftop at night, and it was adorable. People expected him to use me, they were wrong… Anyways, I never lost feelings for him… then the summer of my sophomore year, we started hanging out a lot again.. but he kind of got involved in the wrong group… his “best friend” made him take the blame when the cops showed up, that’s all I will say. We are both in a much better place now. Oh I forgot to mention that we actually started dating that summer. Anyways, he had to drop out of college because he was in the Army ROTC program and he lost his scholarship when he got in trouble. He became a completely different guy, well actually when he started doing bad things he was a different guy. He was an idiot. He was seriously depressed for months after he had to move back home. I never lost faith in him though. We broke up for a little bit, but then this spring is when he turned his life around. He is the same guy I met 4 years ago. He is my best friend, he is literally everything. Well on September 20th, he left for Navy Bootcamp and last weekend I went to see him at graduation… nothing has changed, and I don’t think it ever will. He is only in Chicago now, and I see him for Christmas… CANT WAIT! But, then in January he moves to Florida… and I will be off to college soon after that… it is going to be hard… but I won’t give up! We have already gotten through enough together to prove it is worth it. I am so proud of him, and I am so thankful he got a second chance… because he is the smartest, funniest, just all around great guy I know. He deserves this, and honestly he’s kicking butt! So to everyone who thought he was just a “fuck up” or that we wouldn’t last… suck it. I love you babe.
