Dear Abby


          When I was younger, I had this obsession with reading the "Dear Abby" section of the newspaper. I was always intrigued about the issues people had and the responses Abby would give them. Sometimes when I get upset, I wonder why I was so obsessed with those articles, and looking back, it's because I always wanted to get advice from her. She had a way of snapping people back into reality and giving them the confidence to do what was necessary. Not only did I admire the wisdom that came from her answers, but I admired her job. A job dealing with other's issues. So, as a strong believer in Abby, I want to play pretend.

Dear Abby,
          I am a senior in high school, and I feel like I am at a loss. I'm a young single woman with many dreams and aspirations, but I feel I'm missing out on something (more like someone) special. For as long as I could remember, I've been looking for a husband. Having my parents and grandparents as couple role models, I knew to expect nothing less than the love they have shown me and each other. And I think I found him my freshman year of high school. I've had a couple boyfriends since then and I feel like I've already missed my chance at being with my true love. We dated while I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. It was an instant connection, and a couple months later ruined by my immaturity. He's always been the one, and now he's in college probably meeting girls that are prettier, smarter, and have the ability to swoop him away. It's difficult to imagine my life with anyone else, and yet right now, we are friends from a distance. How do I fill this empty void that I feel only he is fit?

Sincerely,
The Hopeless High School Sweetheart

It only took a whopping four years for me to finally get an answer from Abby, but for you, I'll make you wait 24 hours. Hopefully Abby comes back with some good advice. Senior high school Becca needed it.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. I'm pretty excited to hear what Abby has to say. Also, very ironic my middle name is Abigail. Hmmmmmmmm.... First day of my last semester of college! Oh yeah <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.
