Mini Series: Our Success


          Like I said yesterday, I've learned so much in the past three days. About myself, grad school, and creating/maintaining relationships (when it comes to school, jobs, etc.). Who would've thought, I'd listen to a speech so inspiring, it made me want to be a better wife? Not me, that's for sure. I thought at most I'd be getting knew info that we'd need, not a whole character check. I'm not one to admit my wrongs, but I know I have been a very cranky person lately. I have become someone that I was not a fan of. Someone who needed to check themselves before lashing out at others. For a good while, I was no longer loving Becca the way I used to. If I've learned anything this weekend, it's you have to love and believe in yourself first, in order to give the best you to others, in my case, my husband, Marc. Today I'll begin a seven day mini series. Again, what I'm going to be letting you in on is what I have learned during a speech, very well spoken by, Dr. Jackson. Very often, we push those closest to us, and need a reality check from the outside world. Her talk gave me that. For the next 7 days, I'll be speaking about what she calls, the "7 Pillars for Success". #1 Get clear about WHAT you want, not captive to the HOW you'll get it. I don't know about you, but I've said it plenty of times before, I am easily scared. Literally, about anything. If you think marriage isn't a scary thing, you're crazy. It's probably the scariest thing ever. Of course you get to be connected with the person you love the most and want the best for, but once again, that is exactly what I am so fearful of. I want the BEST for Marc, and nothing less. I get caught up in my attitude, my fear, school, work, anything and everything, instead of focusing on what really matters. The relationship I hold with my husband. In case it isn't obvious of what I want from what I said yesterday, I'll repeat it again today, and for the next 20 days. Remember, we will have an against-the-odds, everlasting, successful relationship! Against the odds, because we are a young couple living in a time of divorce. Everlasting, because I know we need to remain side by side for the rest of our lives. Successful, because we will at the very least, try our best to accomplish all of our goals. We will unapologetically go after anything and everything we want together as a team. If things don't go the way we want, then it probably wasn't meant to be, and there will be something much greater out there for us to accomplish. We will not be broken down by those moments, we will work together as a team with everything we've got to make our reality something 200x better than what we could have ever imagined. I don't know about you, but I know what I want!

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.
