"We Are The New Vintage"
Tags:
Jason, my boyfriend. He's my love, my champion, my partner in crime. He supports and encourages everything I do, even when it's the most ridiculous or grandiose thing imaginable. He lets me be me, lets me cast myself out into the world, but reels me in when it's necessary.
Three and a half years ago, when we met, I was at the lowest point in my life. He brought me back from the brink of self-destruction with his love and support and positive attitude and I've never looked back.
And now I'm the fabulous creature you see today... *giggle*
*hmm* I could probly think of a few people who have given me pieces of wisdom and whatnot over the years. However, there are two that I can honestly say I owe a lot to.
The first is Jon, who was my best friend for six glorious years. There were so many times he was there with the right words or a warm hug. He gave me nothing but encouragement to be myself and kept me on the right path. The wonderful memories of our adventures and a few other things are all I have left of our time together. It'll be three years this May since he's been gone. :/
I seriously doubted I would ever have that kind of friend again, but thankfully fate was kind to me and brought another wonderful person into my life. He is everything I wanted in a man, my best friend and partner in crime...I don't know what I would do without him. Every day is like a gift, and I feel spoiled when he lavishes me with compliments. I love how good he makes me feel and that we can do pretty much anything and still have fun. There was a lot of time I spent trying to be the woman I thought men wanted, so it's refreshing to have someone who adores me just the way I am, and I have never been happier. [You should see the smile on my face right now. *ha*]
Absolutely. I take comfort in knowing I can modify my body any way I see fit and he'll still tell me I'm the sexiest woman ever. =DIt IS refreshing to have someone adore you just the way you are. The BEST feeling in the world, I would say. You definitely have good reason to be smilin'! :)
(Insert story about meeting Desirée at a rough and pivotal spot in my life, and having her smack me in the head and tell me to get on with it here.)
I'm a lucky man.
I'm fortunate to have friends who have stood by me through some self-imposed rough times, but that's what friends DO, right? The real standout is a professor I had in college. I'd dropped out for a semester because of funding issues, but was on campus meeting a friend when I ran into this one professor. I'd already had one class with him, and needed to take the follow-up class in order to get my degree, but the semester I was supposed to take it was the semester I dropped out. He'd noticed, and read me the riot act when he saw me on campus. I explained my situation, and he went above and beyond what ANY professor (or anyone else) should do... he not only arranged (privately) for me to apprentice for him in exchange for a grade in the class I couldn't take, but he also paid my tuition for that class out of his own pocket! Without his kindness, I may never have gotten my degree.
I'm actually tearing up just thinking about this.
My husband. Made me realize that I needed to be myself, do for myself and discover ultimate happiness....that no one could ever make me as happy as I could.
Dayna Delux. No kidding. I met her in '07 and she gave me hope that there are still real, unpretentious people in this world...even though they have achieved ultimate success. She also ha given me alot of wonderful words of wisdom regarding inner beauty that have forever changed my drive and confidence.
