Falling in Love at 16

blog

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

I fell in love my junior year of high school, and I went full send. I completely opened my heart to him; I was honest about my insecurities and also expressed what I was not willing to put up with. I said “I love you too” after only 11 days of us being together, and to this day, we are still in love.

In October we will celebrate our 13th anniversary together, and on that same day we will be eloping! We moved out together at 19, bought our townhome at 21, and this year at age 29 we will finally be husband and wife.

It’s insane for me to think about how much we have gone through together, and how we literally have grown together for over a decade. Our communication skills have improved immensely over the years, which has a lot to do with my own personal work in therapy.

It’s been so fun to see how we have grown together, but also how we have grown individually. I used to be extremely codependent, which could have resulted in some horrific situations, but I was truly blessed to find such a respectful, supportive life partner.

Falling in love is a risk, and doing so at such a young age is also terrifying, especially because we barely even know ourselves as teenagers. I am so happy that I trusted my gut and allowed myself to fall so deeply in love. Together we put in work to keep our relationship thriving, and I am so blessed to have him in my life. 🫶🏼

    You are either lucky or have a good karma, don’t know which of those two, maybe both. 😀 I had three relationships which were ended, but I learned from each of those experiences. I think my true love is there and I’ll meet her in a phase of my life when I’m ready to commit myself to a truly authentic and functional relationship. I am considering starting to write my blog in english, since reading you, I could get a much bigger audience, but it’s a bit hard since english is not my native tongue. I’ll see about that. Nevertheless, I like your story about synchronicities, I had lots of them in my life, so I can write about that for a start. Btw have you ever read Carl Gustav Jung? He is briliant when it commes to human psyche and synchronicities (he is actually the author of a term “synchronicity”)? Do you mind me writing about sychronicities and puting links to my posts here in the comments?

      I believe that true love is out there for all of us! I’m glad to see you haven’t lost hope. and I don’t have a huge audience here as I don’t promote my posts really other than sharing on one of my socials, but if you want to post your links in the comments here feel free! I feel like I have heard of Carl Jung but I have not read anything of his as of yet. I’ll have to look into him since I am loving synchronicities!! looking forward to seeing your stories about them!
