Two Hearts, One Mind

Today is one of the many days I look back and realize how lucky I am to have met my soul mate. After all this time he is still by my side. He has seen the best and worst in me and loves me none the less. I knew from the first two weeks that he was very different from all the rest. He genuinely cared, not to satisfy a want or fulfill a selfish need, but appreciated every moment. His response was never fake, shallow, superficial or egoistic.

I believe an ideal relationship revolves around trust and vulnerability. When you love someone you trust them to never let you down, abandon you or use your weaknesses for their gain. I don’t understand people who claim they love someone yet they don’t trust them. For us, it’s easy. Don’t get me wrong, every relationship takes time effort and patience but, all these things I want to do with him so it never feels like chore.

We have both been through relationships which were drastic in nature and left us feeling empty and angry at the society we live in. We felt like giving up on the idea that someone out there will have the same morals and values that we place in high regard. Our society is fucked. There I said it. We live in a time where individuals are being socialized to become “self maximizing agents” or just plain egoistic. A healthy relationship involves two people relying on each other and genuinely caring about the others well being (both mentally/physically and financially) yet we are taught as children to rely on ourselves and never to trust others (Prenup??!). No wonder the divorce rate in first world nations and primarily North America is one in every two marriages. People marry to satisfy a want or need and once that satisfaction is achieved, if none other is found within the same relationship, they decide that its not worth the effort and divorce.

Sammy and I both have the same vision. We both want to achieve the same thing. We want a happy and loving family, to live comfortable, and teach our children about so many wonders of the world. Our children will never be taught that money determines the person and to fend only for themselves and their family. After all, we are all connected.

I love him, and truly wouldn’t be who I am today without him. I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if ever he was gone, and thus cherish every moment I spend with him.

Happy Anniversary baby!!! And to many more to come…
