Mini Series: Success Day 3

          Yesterday I mentioned the fear I've always felt when thinking about my relationship with Marc. Today, I'm going to get to the root of it, and understand where that fear comes from. There is always so much negativity lurking around couples. "You're never going to have the relationship your grandparents have. Look at the divorce rates." "Marriage is a waste of time" "After a few years, the love will die down" "You'll grow apart" The list goes on and on. There has been too much said that is clogging up and messing with my thoughts. I'm too optimistic to let these lies take over. I know what I know, and our marriage will be successful. To all of the doubters, I will not believe your lies. My relationship with Marc is too strong for your negativity. I know what you are trying to do, and I won't allow you to win. You won't take over. For so long, I believed I might be incapable of being in a relationship that works. I was afraid of commitment. If someone did something that I didn't like, I'd walk away. It didn't matter how stupid the thing was. I am not one to admit I am wrong, so there is no way someone can deal with my stubbornness. <----I'm letting go of it all. All of the doubt, the fear, the lies I've been told. I know the truth. And my truth is that Marc and I will have an against the odds, everlasting, successful relationship. Marc and I will not allow our past to define us. #3 Change belief systems that are keeping you captive. I will no longer be trapped by this negative way of thinking. This is why for the next 19 days, I will continue to repeat my truth. Those lies I have been told that I listed at the beginning of this blog will stay there. Beyond today, they will have no room in my heart or my brain. I believe! It takes 21 days to create a habit, and those 21 days will mark as my time to get my beliefs back on track. Do you believe babe?

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.
