it's o.k. if you think we're lame because we still rent an apartment, and you own a house now.
it's o.k. if you think we're lame because we aren't working on our master's degrees, and probably never will.
it's o.k. if we disagree on what success means.
it's o.k. if you think it's silly that we got married when we were 18 & 19.
it's o.k. if you think we missed out on something & we think we hit the jackpot.
sometimes it doesn't feel good when you make us feel wrong for the road we've chosen to walk on, but then we remember (with a little help from our friends) that we chose to live the life we live, not because we have to, but because we want to.
sometimes it feels lonely to not follow in the path that society says we should. & sometimes it starts to feel annoying to always feel like we're on the defensive, but really it's quite simple: we love being married, we love the lessons that florida has taught us, we love & appreciate the people who really support us, and the real friendships we have that keep us going. we're aware that we've made plenty of mistakes over the years, but it's the sincerest desire of our hearts to live openly & honestly & with more love in our hearts this next year so that we can continue to walk & grow in a way that fits us.
I couldnt agree with you more... funny how i think about that too sometimes! you guys do great and are such a cute couple...
ReplyDeleteThats what I love about you Anna...you are who you are and you aren't trying to be like someone else or to try to fit into some one else's mold. As long as you are happy, and I know you are, you just hang in there and do your best every single day! Things will work out just fine and don't even get taken-up with what other think you should or shouldn't do.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Refreshing and inspiring to read this post. Have I told you lately that I LOVE YOU!!!!
