uncertain futures

i cannot say what is going to happen in this year except to say that i hope it will be happy. whether in work or in life...i hope that it will go much smoother than last year. i think i found something good, and i hope that it will remain this way. nobody knows the outcome...but we can all only hope for the best.

slowly i am learning what being in love is. it's not just the good days, but it's working through the bad days too. it's putting up with being a little tired, and learning to understand each other better. it's moving past that heart racing, school girl crush and developing into something that makes me smile. i feel like i'm jinxing it. but when i look at him, there's this feeling inside of me. this comfortable safe feeling. being accepted, and loved for who i am. yeah...i am in love. my heart can only see him and i hope that in his heart i hold a big space.

happy birthday!

one of my birthday gifts. cute no? :)
