My boyfriend and I are moving in to our own one bedroom apartment March 1 and I’m sooo excited!! I am madly, passionately in love with him and he is truly my best friend. He tells me he wants me to feel free and comfortable being myself with him and I tell him the same thing, we’ve both gotten through tough times in our lives where people tried to limit us feeling like ourselves and it’s wonderful for both of us to have someone who just accepts you and admires you for the flawed person you are...

We’re moving in on what is technically our second months anniversary and we signed the lease on our first months. He fell in love instantly and had no doubts about us but for awhile I was a little panicky about how fast things were moving between us and would sometimes think about breaking up with him...

I was pretty in love with him but at this point he kept telling me once he met me he knew who he wants to spend the rest of his life with, eventually marry, raise a family with... I feel awful about some of my concerns looking back, like he never went to college and doesn’t have a lot of friends, then it finally hit me he is my BEST friend and we can talk about anything, laugh together, be sarcastic smartasses with each other...

I know he was really worried I would want to break up with him but yesterday I admitted all my doubts to him ending with my conclusion of I know he’s the one and he is everything with me which I finally do mean with all my heart... btw this guy held my hand through an endometrial biopsy and then cuddled with me after buying the best chocolate ice cream in the entire area...

I think some people can spend years together struggling but this was just the right point in both our lives and our personalities just click, we have very different interests (I’m an artsy actor, he’s an athlete and aspiring mechanic) but we look at the world in a similar way so we can literally talk endlessly for hours until we fall asleep and wake up to just continue...

His mom and grandma love me (he doesn’t get along with his dad either) and they’re giving us a few things to get started in our new apartment. My parents are in another state but we’ve Skyped and they’re coming to visit soon and my mom keeps texting me how much they like him, it’s a little annoying how much my parents adore my boyfriend but my mom warned me to stay away from my ex which turned out to be really accurate so it is a bit comforting...

I’m not posting this to brag or say things are just easy for me, they’re not... just know there are wonderful relationships and the best part is knowing someone doesn’t ask to change you but admits your weaknesses and what they hate about you but loves you anyway because you’re a real person and no one can possibly be perfect... if you get caught up on trying to eliminate every problem you’ll lose how real the person and the relationship is...

Reality is beautiful because it’s flawed! Accept who you are and don’t let anyone change your individuality that makes you special, embrace some things, hate others, but accept yourself for who you are and find a person who will do the same!! 🤗
