Love and Growth

It's 2025—a year of new beginnings and endless possibilities. Life may not always offer the complete package, but there is beauty in savoring the moments we are given.

Over the past year, my life has changed in ways I never expected. I met a man who has made life worth living again. He awakened my heart—teaching me to trust, to love, and to feel less anxious. With him, I've had to learn how to let go of jealousy and trust that other women who cross his path are simply a part of life. It hasn't been easy, and I’m still working on it. But what I do know is this: for as long as I have him in my life, I will love him deeply and give myself the freedom to fully embrace our journey together.

Even from afar, our love continues. My heart is in Texas now—who would have thought a long-distance relationship could thrive like this? Yet, here we are, and I am grateful every day.

I don't know what the future holds for us, but I am still evolving as a 52-year-old woman. Wow—52! It hits me sometimes that I'm well over half a century old. I'm not a young pup anymore, but you know what? My Texas makes me feel young. He is my fountain of youth.

What I love most about this man is how he opens my mind. His presence encourages me to grow and become a better version of myself. It amazes me how the right person can inspire you to reach higher. Because of him, I want to explore new possibilities, push my limits, and discover what I am capable of achieving. My dreams are big, and there is still so much I want to accomplish before my time is up. I am working toward my goals and striving to be a woman who is committed, dedicated, persistent, and focused on everything life places before me.

I don't have all the answers, but I am always learning. Education is important to me because I refuse to carry unnecessary baggage into my future. I want my journey to be full of opportunities—maybe even a romantic trip to Europe with my Texas, making crazy love on train rides through different countries! Visiting the Netherlands and Germany would be amazing, but my ultimate dream is to experience Italy. And you know what? It's going to happen—I just know it.

In the meantime, I have both Texas, the man, and Texas, the state, to explore. I recently discovered that flights from Denver are much cheaper than from where I live. Sometimes, I daydream about living there just to make visiting my baby easier. One day, perhaps.

Long-distance relationships are no walk in the park, but they shape you. They've certainly shaped me. This journey has pushed me to work on myself even more. I hope our love lasts a long time because I can't imagine letting go of this extraordinary man. He has captured my heart in a way no one else ever has. In some ways, I feel like I belong to him—and it's a comforting feeling. I am his, and he is mine.

I want nothing but the best for him. I want to see him thrive and grow as a man. He is intelligent, persistent, and an exceptional planner. My brain doesn’t work quite like his—I admire how he maps out our adventures and finds ways to include me in everything. It makes me feel special.

One of my favorite things? When he tells me he's proud of me. Those five words—"I am proud of you"—give me butterflies every time.

Whatever the future holds, I am grateful for my Texas and the love we share. Together or apart, we are building something real—something worth holding on to.
