Why A Blog?


          It feels like I've been writing these blogs forever. When I did the math, I haven't even made it a third of the way there. I know, sounds crazy. But all this time went by and I don't think I have ever spoken about why I started the blog, and if I did, I think I just brushed on it. They say there are five love languages: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. I feel like I've figured out Marc's two biggest loves and I believe they are words of affirmation and acts of service. By no means do I think he doesn't follow the other love languages as well, I just know those are important to him. When I first began this blog, we weren't in the best of places. I may have been a bit extra by creating a public blog, but I wanted Marc to see how much truth I was putting behind my words. I wanted to publicly and verbally express my affection, praises, and appreciation for having him in my life. I knew that when I spoke these things I had to show him the love that I felt for him. Which is why I think I make it something public. That was my way of showing him love, my act of service. The blogs allow me to express my love through words, through the act of writing a public blog, to give Marc an electronic gift every day, and to allow him some quality time for us no matter the physical distance between us. I can't be with him everyday to give him the love of physical touch, but I hope my every "I love you" and blog are just as warming as a big hug for my bug <3 These blogs can sometimes get superficial when I panic about new ideas or things to write about, but there is actually a very important meaning behind these blogs. I want my love for Marc to be out there and for everyone to see. I don't want him to ever doubt my love. It's easy for things to get difficult with distance, but I won't let one school year, or any big issues we may have in our relationship mess that up. We've come too far to let it all go to waste. Not only are these blogs a way for me to show my love, but every legal document that I needed to work on is officially complete. I am seriously a Colón now. If that wasn't a huge act of service, I don't know what is. I don't plan on ever changing my name back, and I don't plan on having any other life partner.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. I love you bug. :*

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.
