We are nearing 60 days of knowing, liking, and now loving each other. We eclipsed one holiday in Thanksgiving and I feel quite fortunate for the timing of this holiday. General circumstance and also the newness of our relationship played a role in us spending this holiday apart from each other. We did communicate a lot throughout the day; it was nice to keep in touch with you at various intervals despite the busy happenings that come with the holiday. Thank you for keeping me close in your thoughts, as you were close in mine.
I call this entry Endurance because although my feelings of love for you are fresh, and my heart still skips beats when I see you or hear the 'ding' of my phone in anticipation of a message from you, now is also the time I want to be mindful of the stresses of everyday life and their ability to erode away at even the most durable of things. I'm making a promise to myself to always remember you are a priority and to act accordingly. I will be strong and endure through hardships such that our love stays strong and endures as well.
I feel confident that I will get out what I put in and so I'm giving all of myself to you. There's something freeing and joyous about letting go and trusting you.
