On August 26, 2011 I posted this here on Psych Central about a 16 boy I had met online. We had been talking for 6 months and skyped regularly. I was also 16. I wrote this about him.

He makes me laugh
He gives me butterflies even after 6 months
He makes me smile
He makes me feel beautiful, safe and secure
He makes my heart skip a beat when he logs on, smiles and laughs

He makes me the best person I can be
He makes me feel like my flaws are beautiful
He makes me feel human
He makes me feel like it okay to be the way I am

I can only smile when I think about him
I get butterflies when he logs on
I can't stop smiling even if I had the worst day when we talk
I dream about him all the time (non-sexual)
I see his flaws but they make him so special

He is so special to me and he is my best friend
We both like eachother but not dating
We talk for hours and hours on end past bedtime even if we have something in the morning
He wants to stay up and talk to me
I want to stay up and talk to him

I love hearing him talk
I love seeing him smile
I love hearing about his day
I love the little quirks he has
I love his mini white boy afro :P
I love how his voice cracks when he gets nervous or even out of nowhere

I love seeing him happy even if it doesn't include me in his life
I worry about him even when I know he'll be fine
I love who is he
I love that I have such an incredible individual in my life and I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet

I really care for him and I really like him

Could I even be falling in love with him?

It is now 2014. Where am I?

On September 11, 2011 we finally started LD dating. On June 17, 2012 we finally met IRL. Throughout 2012 and 2013 we visited each other and met each others family. On July 2, 2013 we got engaged. On September 11, 2014 we had our first anniversary together IRL (we were never visiting at the right times) and celebrated our 3rd anniversary. I love this man so much and I can't wait for our forever to begin.

Just a little post to show people than love is worth it and it can will be hard but worth the work.
