also from Georgia just like Ms.
Amy!
i adore Amy's blog. she's creative and
positive and not to mention a preeetty good question
asker... i had a lot of fun answering this question of
hers...
"What have you learned about
yourself and maybe the world/your perspectives from both being
single and being in a relationship with Stone? Then, is there a
special way you show your love for him?"
i love this question, because my
answer is an interesting one.
half the year i experience life
through the "single" girl perspective in the sense that i am minus my
boyfriend, and the other half is experienced through the relationship
girl perspective.
my boyfriend plays baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies
organization... this means, he is away for the season from mid
February to mid September, and then back in Atlanta for the off season
from Sept to Feb.
so for those long months, i am boyfriend-less, visiting
him on occasion, living in Atlanta, working, and trying to have as
much fun as I should be at 26. it’s always a big adjustment for
me after he leaves, and takes a little while for me to get back into
the single girl mindset of being alone. I have learned I’m
preeeetty strong on the inside and that is something I admire about
myself.
Alone, I am able to spend a lot more
quality girlfriend time with friends, catch up on all the real
housewives of every city, and eat cereal for dinner. But also, I
do get frightened a little easier, and sometimes am no stranger to
keeping a chair under my door juuust in case.
Spending those months alone, has made
me realize that I am such a relationship girl. but that’s because I
love who I’m in a relationship with. I prefer it. My world is better
when he is around, and its really that simple :)
i love, love. and i try to show it in
a lot of little ways, which comes naturally for me because my parents
who were so good at this. i think its important, those little hey i
love you reminders.
like, sending him on morning scavenger hunts,
like, sending him on morning scavenger hunts,
dedicating a whole day to whatever
he wants to do,
giving little presents
that kind of stuff because the little things in life are
indefinitely the most important.
thanks so much for having me Amy!
Great Question, Amy! Very reflective!
