You're Rare


          I'm home sick. There's nothing to it, just missing being at home with Marc and living our lives together. I'm pretty big on living a positive life, and I'm not immune to falling into negativity. It's hard to get out of these funks when you're missing someone or something. In my case, I'm going through a bit of Marc withdrawal. For the past several years we've been by each other's side pretty much 24/7. Last summer I went through a time of being really sad and just kind of in a crap mood. It's hard to be with your best friend all the time, and then have to learn how to be on your own. It especially didn't help that I was living alone, as I am right now. I never realized how big of a part Marc played in my Indiana life. Whenever I have one or two days off in a row, I can't just head over to Marc's house to just chill and hang out like I used to. I'm stuck with keeping myself busy by watching tv, reading, errands, or getting some work done. Today I found myself going for a long walk. It was beautiful out, and I knew I couldn't just call Marc for company because he was at work. So I grabbed Herky and we walked. We walked for about 45 minutes to an hour. I told myself I'd walk in new directions, walk past places that wouldn't have me super emotional, and somehow I found myself walking past Marc's old house. I wish it could have been that easy to walk to Philly and to actually have been with him. I don't want to stay in this funk because I know the time will fly by faster than I think. It's just hard. It's annoying to think I have to keep myself busy all the time so I don't fall into this homesickness. I just gotta keep reminding myself and imaging how great life will be once I graduate. There will be no more homesickness from my love. There will hopefully be no more funks, or at least 200x easier to come out of them. And I'll finally have my entire support system within a close distance. If the past three and a half years of college can fly by, I'm sure this semester can too.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. You're a rare one to find. I was smart to keep you by my side <3 #NeverLettingGo

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.
