Taken For Granted

          We all speak about how much we never want to be taken for granted. But do we ever really think about us taking someone else for granted? Nope, and why is that? Because humans by nature are selfish. But... And there is a but... When you love someone, and vow up and down how much they mean to you, you really have to think back to yourself and say,"Am I treating them with the respect they deserve? Am I showing them just how much I love them?" Last night Marc tagged me in a post on Facebook, and I loved the video I was watching. You might have seen this video before, but I'll tag it down below so you can see why it touched my heart so much. I say over and over again how grateful I am to have Marc around, and I pray all the time thanking God for placing him in my life. He really was heaven sent. He's my reality check, my fantasy, my everything. You'd never know how to respect and love someone until you have become completely vulnerable. If you have your guard up, that proves one thing. That you are still worried about yourself. Something I need to work on. The moment you pass the reigns off to another, even if it's only for a moment, you're showing the vulnerabilities you're trying to hide. Those vulnerabilities are not to be taken for granted and abused. No one is saying those moments aren't scary, because they are. They're vulnerabilities for a reason. It's something you're either not proud of or something you just don't want to share. Those are moments when we have to step up, and show why we deserve to see what our significant other was so scared to show. Of course I love Marc, and try to show him just how much I love him everyday with these blogs, but that doesn't, for a second, exempt me from getting in over my head by taking him for granted and not realizing the true purpose of these blogs. To show him, and everyone else why he is my soulmate, and the power that love truly has. With love, you can overcome anything.



With love always,
Becca

P.s. Not just an emotional solution.

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
