Love Map


Have you ever sat down, and tried to figure out how you got to where you are today? I don't usually think about it too much, but when I do, I get super excited and am reminded how grateful I am. For work, next week, I have to create a life map, so it got me thinking. What is my love map? My love map is a huge part of my life map. I met Marc my first year of high school. What if I hadn't been facing out of the bus the way I had been that day? What if we didn't have mutual friends? What if I wasn't bold enough to ask him to be my boyfriend (many times over)? What if we went to different colleges? What if I hadn't been so annoying and persistent? What if I hadn't stalked his life our entire college careers (true story)? What if we hadn't gone on all of those late night Applebee dessert dates? What if I hadn't asked Marc for his help all of those times I didn't really need help, but just wanted his company (also, true story)? What if we never allowed ourselves to become vulnerable to each other? What effect did that care package have on mine and Marc's relationship? Or the birthdays we spent together? Or our weekly tv show nights? All of these things played a role in where we are today. Believe me when I say, there are so many more of them. How did we get so lucky?

With love always,
Becca Colón

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.
