And it was one of the best decisions of my life. I've felt happiness that I thought was impossible. I feel like I have been able to experience more joy in these last six months than most people get in their entire lives. I have never felt like I have had one person completely on my side and now, I have someone who roots for me even when I am losing. Since I cannot come up with a verbal explanation that will even remotely describe how I feel, I shall just say that being with Scruffy has been simply amazing.
I was only eighteen when we got married, but I have no regrets. I can't say that I think it is for everyone. Just as every person is different, every relationship is different as well. What I can say is that you can decide how to treat someone, it is your choice whether you are around them or not (mostly), and it is your decision to stay or leave. However, it is not anyone's choice as to how you feel about someone. You cannot stop your heart from loving someone, just as you cannot stop the tide in the ocean. Rather than asking your heart to listen or your mind to decide, listen to your heart, because it alone possess the ability to truly love.
Forever is more than just a word. It is a promise.
"If all else perished, and he remained,
I should
still continue to be;
and if all else remained, and he were annihilated,
the universe would turn to a mighty stranger."
-Catherine Linton, Wuthering Heights
