How to Love

When you say I didn't know how to love before you, you aren't kidding. It's always easiest to just run from issues, something that I became so use to. You've challenged me to work through the issues, and I need to express my appreciation for the patience that you've given me, especially because you have the least amount of patience out of pretty much anyone I know. Trying to learn what someone else needs is hard when you've only ever thought about yourself for so long. I know we're young, but 21 years is definitely enough time to form bad habits. Something we've definitely both improved on during our time together is forgiveness and realizing things can't always go our way. We have to know when to fight for what we need, and when to sacrifice the things we don't. That can be tricky at times when you feel like something you want is what you need, and you can't see it until the other one points it out. I know my bad habits now because of you, and instead of feeling flawed, I'm working on becoming stronger and enabling myself to overcome those habits. Every argument or discussion we have do not go wasted, because we both always take something out of it. Maybe they're different things, but we're still learning, and that's what matters. This weekend with you may have been quick, but as any time I spend with you, I've learned a lot and could not be any sadder to see you go back home without me.

With love always,
Becca

P.s. We're still learning. I love you! <3

So close! We are so close to the end of the month. We've almost made it. I will finally have time off, and won't be as tired as I've been. Thank you love for sticking with me this month. I know it's been hard. With all of my sleepiness and staying on campus to get work done, even when we see each other, I feel like it lasts for just a few moments. There is also something super exciting about seeing our diplomas next to each other. For two, first-generation college students, we sure have done well for ourselves. Teamwork makes the dream work right?? I think so! It definitely helps to have a superstar on the team anyway. And by superstar, I mean Mr. Do-It-All-Himself-Colón. Thank you for being such a great teammate! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I still don't know why you don't complain about the accent mark!

Sometimes we see, read, or hear things that we try to get across. For me lately, I've been trying to get across what young love means, and the beauty of it. Today, I came across another blog, where someone worded it in simplest form. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you Anonymous, I couldn't have said it better myself. " The question is asked: “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?” And the answer is given: “Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. "It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled but still clasped; their faces are seamed but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired but still strong with love and devotion. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.” " With love always, Becca Colón P

Exactly one year ago today. The time has truly flown by. I've posted this video a few times before, but we're finally at it's anniversary. What a year it has been love! Crazy, to say the least. We legit spent majority of our first year together apart. It's okay though, we made it back to where we need to be. I love you bub! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Looks just like Rachel from Suits haha.
