All About Making You Proud


          If you know Marc, you know he's probably one of the most caring people you'll ever meet, and probably one of the most intimidating people you'll ever meet too. When Marc pushes people beyond their limits, it really is about him wanting the best for them. All year long, I've been speaking about showing him that I'm trying to achieve greatness for us both. I've definitely struggled this school year with motivation and fear. I'm constantly scared about not getting as far as I can with school or a future job, even though I am actively working toward the future. But for a couple of months, my fear has reached a whole new high. I've been overly emotional not only with school or work, but in my relationship with Marc. I know how hard he has worked, and I'm always scared that I won't be able to reach him. I know this is a common senior college students thought, but they are most definitely valid. I have to keep reminding myself, Marc was scared this time last year too. Instead of giving up and letting fear take over, he pushed himself that much harder to get through it. Look at where he is now. A great job, married, and making it out in the world. I knew I wanted to continue my education in my specific field because I love it, and I know there is still so much to learn within my field. It hit me really hard when I realized I knocked the fear out too little too late. If that wasn't a reality check, I don't know what is. Deadlines for grad school came so quickly, and my fear and excuses for why I couldn't or shouldn't do it did not allow me to catch up. The good thing is, Marc is constantly reminding me, don't be afraid to take risks. Can you imagine me, Becca, girl scared of everything taking a risk? Yeah, I didn't think so. I'm pretty sure the only risk I've ever taken in life was putting myself out there, in terms of my relationship with Marc. I was vulnerable, I was scared, and somehow I made it through. Even when I thought my deadline had passed me by for getting back together with Marc senior year of high school. I really thought I lost my chance with Marc once he left for college. I thought I'd never see the day where Marc and I were even in a relationship, let alone marriage. But we made it here, and I will make it into graduate school in the future with my number one supporter of a husband. I might have to wait an extra year, but instead of taking this year as a break. I am looking forward to taking this as an opportunity to perfect my imperfections. To overcome any obstacles that may come my way. Just as I had once done my senior year going into college trying to win Marc back. I will make you proud.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. #NeverGiveUp because I've learned from the best.

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.
