A year of change

September 11, 2012

One year ago today, I posted this blog. One year ago today, first contact was made with the love of my life. It seems sometimes too coincidental that the day I lamented complicated relationships and marveled over the simplicity, openness, and honesty of the love of the couple in the Story Corps interview, I began my own journey into a relationship built on openness and honesty. A relationship that has changed my life, and carried me on this whirlwind year.

A year ago today, I was in a different city, in a different job, at a loss for knowing what I would be doing, where I would be living, and giving up on trying to find the right guy. I thought I would be moving to a new place with a new job. A year later, I’m not where I thought I would be. Different city, different job, but finally in a better place. I love my new home - big, airy, cozy, convenient. My new job is filled with opportunity. The man I love is by my side, himself embarking on a new path that he wouldn’t have foreseen that fateful day one year ago.

It’s clearly not all fun and games. Moving and the new home demand lots of time and money. Work is definitely busier for both of us. But I now walk onwards with confidence, because I now no longer walk alone.
