The Response


Dear Hopeless High School Sweetheart,

          I understand where you are coming from. It's easy to see you have a clear understanding of what you want in a partner, and what you had in this soulmate of yours. I don't usually tell people to just go for it, but there is something about your story that sounds different. You didn't say much, but what you said are the exact things I needed you to say in order to get this response from me. My response is for you to be as open as you need to. It doesn't matter when or where, I can see your heart is in the right place. A little birdie told me you'll be heading up to his college in a few weeks and you never know when you'll get the opportunity again. I know you have your doubts that there are better woman suited for him out there, but if you never give him the chance, you'll never get to see where you'll end up. One day you could end up being Mrs. _______ . Its refreshing to hear you are willing to fight for what you want, I'm sure he'll find something attractive about that. The experiences you have gained in the past few years should give you the knowledge of how to love a partner, and by the looks of it, you love him a lot, even if you aren't together. The way you speak of missing him is undeniable, there is no way he won't be able to see it. It's hard now a days to tell someone how you truly feel when society is constantly telling you to keep your guard up, so I understand if this will be a challenge. Just know that Abby has faith in you and your mystery man. I'm sure you'll swoop him off his feet before any other girl gets the chance.

Your friendly confidant,
Abby

**Into the actual story**

I can't remember if I spoke about this story before, and I think I might have, but it has been bouncing around in my head for days. When I left IUP after Marc's birthday, still without telling him how much I wanted another shot with him, I felt defeated. I was too chicken to go after the guy of my dreams. I'm not sure what came over me in the ride back to Philly, but I did exactly as Abby said. I opened up and simply asked for another shot. Crazy to think Abby was right all along. I'm actually Mrs. Colón <3 I don't think there is anyone in this world that could understand or deal with me the way he does, and vice versa honestly hahaha. We're such handfuls.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. Abby sure knows how to be vague and still clear at the same time.

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.
