A life lesson well learned

Well, greetings, fellow ATS/BTSer's!

Today, I come forth to tell you of my own personal revelations in the world of love and relationships.

Well, me and my girlfriend got back together after a 7 month hiatus inculding three weeks where she had another boyfriend. I don't know how nor why, but for some reason, she needed a "crash test dummy" to see if she could handle being with someone who wasn't me. Either way, all I know is that she feels that her and I as a couple is what's right for her. And she's been acting more like a girlfriend instead of the ball-and-chain she was. It's nice for once to feel loved. It would take me quite a while to explain, so if you have any questions, try to make them as acute as possible. lol. Anyhow, the revalation I had was this -

True happiness can't be bought...it can only be given.

Sure, I had heard this all the time, but only now do I finaly realize what it means. I guess you truly do have to feel as if you've lost anything that you care about to truly appreciate happiness when it does come around.

so...... are you two going to get married sometime soon?

That I doubt. After all, I'm turning 21 in two weeks and she isn't turning 21 till May. But we figure after eveything we've been through, if it lasts more than a year this time around, we are most definatly going to consider it.
