Mini Series: Our Success Day 5


          We're wrapping up on year 8! We've had a great run, and will continue to create our story of a lifetime. I know sometimes the things I say may not be super relevant to outsiders, but everything on this blog means something to me and my relationship with Marc. Even the short posts, or posts that just talk about how happy I am to have Marc around for the weekends. Every day that passes is just another page in our book. Our story is honestly much deeper than this blog, and that's because we do want our privacy of course, but at the end of the day, our story has so much to offer, and has so much value. We wouldn't be the people we are today if we hadn't gone through the things we have. I spoke about it yesterday, but our story matters. We know where we've been, and we know the lives we've lived. #5 Know your story. Our story has been unpredictable, exciting, adventurous, joyful, and full of trial & error. We can talk to each other about the trips we've taken, the arguments we've had, the things we need to work on, and the things we'd like to do more of. There is nothing wrong with learning each other. You can't have a relationship if you don't know yourselves or who you've become. I can say, thanks to Marc, I've grown tremendously throughout the years. I don't think you guys realize how much when I say so. I used to be that student that did what I had to, and left it at that. Now, I go above and beyond in class. I make sure to work on professional relationships with my professors. Before, I didn't understand how to navigate life or the world. I kind of just thought everything would happen on its own. Now, I work hard for everything I have, including Marc <3 I'll always work hard for that. But we're doing it. We are living our story, and we're taking it on like some champs. I don't care what age we are, how big or little the things that we've overcome are, but we're a great couple. I couldn't have asked for a better life partner.

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. We will have an against-the-odds, everlasting, successful relationship! Why is that? Because I believe it <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.
