As young kids we idolize the idea of falling in love and finding our happy ending, but as we get into high school and college all we seem to see is heartbreak. We see some happy endings but we also tend to see people we thought would never split break up. It's always sad to see but it happens.

I was lucky in a way. I went through a very bad breakup in high school it hurt a lot but it was for the best. I decided that for the rest of high school I was just going to work on myself and be confident in who I was. I am so glad that was the decision I made because it made my senior year great. I was able to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. It also helped me be ready to meet someone that would soon become someone who is very important to me. At the beginning of the last semester of high school, I met this guy, and he seemed so confident in who he was and what he wanted to do in life. He was everything I wanted to be. We were drawn to each other, we traded numbers and after graduation, we became the best of friends. He slowly learned my story and why I was so guarded. He broke down my walls with every smile, laugh, and a kind word.

Its no shock that I fell for him and thankfully he fell for me too but it happened kind of cliche it started off slowly then all at once. The greatest feeling about loving my best friend is I always having someone to talk to, I have my favorite person to experience life with. when something great happens he is there, when something bad happens he is there for me. He's there for me to talk to, to be my shoulder to cry on, to make me laugh and he's there sometimes just to listen, and I love him for it.

Our relationship works because we were friends first, we built that foundation of trust way before we started dating. We trusted each other with our secrets and now we trust each other with well our lives. There is no one I would rather spend my life with than my best friend, my person. I know that what I went through in my past was just preparing me to be the person he needed me to be for him, it also prepared me to be able to love him with every piece of my heart. My past hurt there were many tears and there was a broken heart, but since I had the strength to put myself back together I was able to find my inner strength.

Love is a very tricky thing and to some, it may seem impossible but I can assure you its out there. Sometimes it's not about finding your happy ending it's just about believing in the idea that there is one for you.
