someone who matters
Every summer my family goes to a lake house the last weekend of July. Because of college and work and weddings I haven’t been in several years.
Four years ago today, I met with my high school boyfriend at the park beside an old elementary school right before my family left. He cried as he told me he didn’t think we could be together anymore. We had been together almost a year. The day before he had left a rose on my car- just because.
I thought I was loosing so much. Looking back, I was crazy.
Going to the lake that year really helped me see I wasn’t really losing anything by losing him. I promised myself the next guy I was with would really, really matter. I wouldn’t waste that much of my life with someone again, just to have it all end in a 20 minute out-of-the-blue conversation at the park.
This year my boyfriend is going with my family and I at the lake. We’ve been together almost a year. Though I would survive without him if it happened, I know we won’t end in a 20 minute conversation. He matters. so much. And he it isn’t just my boyfriend going with me. He is family.
So all you girls out there thinking you’ve just lost so much. You didn’t. Just wait, life will suprise you with someone who matters.
