I don’t know if Christian is the love of my life, but that’s okay. I know he makes my heart beat faster and I don’t want to kiss anyone else but him. I know he’s sweet and kind and has a wonderful heart. I can’t imagine my life without him and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to.

I know we have a long road ahead of us and possibly more bumps and cliffs along the way, but whatever it is, all we can do, all anyone can do, is deal with it. Try to grow from it.

That’s what I’m doing. And if I fall again—because we all get scraped knees at some point—I’ll get back up. Because I’m worth it.

We all are.
