Today marks a milestone. It's our four year anniversary. Amazing.
Four years ago, we were young, in school uniforms and in love with basketball. We met through a mutual friend, he the big flirt with a girlfriend, I the plain Jane that somewhere, somehow stood out from the queue of girls wanting him. He would call incessantly, we would talk till 6 sunrise and had to attend school but it'd end up getting no where 'cos I just didn't want to be the chisel and with his personality I knew I had to give up a lot of me and my lifestyle for him. He was persistent and sweet as heck. The hard boulder I call my heart gave way.
The first few months were hard, unlike the typical 'start sweet end up dull' relationship, but then again we're not really your everyday, average couple. We argued, adjusted, argued, compromised (it's all about the compromise), argued, made up, argued some more! I guess in that sense it was different because we argued to, in a retardedly speaking way, prepare ourselves mentally for the future, we "suffered" for the cause of a better tomorrow. And it worked, look at where we are now, the occassional arguments but nothing ginormous.
Through the years we have been through hell and back, hand in hand. We've been through a period i call the dark era, where he was my light, my ONLY source. We've been through the family wars and disapprovals. We've been through the passing of loved ones. We've been through authority visits time and time. We've been through periods of deflation. We've been through periods of poverty.
We went through a time without each other. It was the hardest I had ever have to do. I'd drive on the roads looking out for his car just to catch a glimpse of him. I'd been tempted by the devil to send him a text but would withdraw after much thought. We'd be listening to the same song at the same moment. And when we finally met after a period of silence, we both had the same thinking of wardrobe choice. It was a dramatic period. Ask my friends and they'd think so too. It was a time that really, trully led us to believe that we were fated and meant for each other among all things.
Whenever posed the question of how we manage to stay together. There is no secret. We've worked hard to get to where we are. Our interests held us together; our love of the game, ice cream, Tekken, rummy, football matches, pizza hut, old movies, Grand Theft Auto, our friends and alll the drama in that circle, the list is endless. Our differences gave us the initiative to try something new, not always successful and not always good, might I add.
Four years down the road, you just can't help but look back and reminiscise.
Ten things you do not, might not or wouldn't have known about us:
a. We both want to get married young, regardless of money, job security all that nonsense.
b. We love kids and want to have with 3 or 5. LOL
c. My parents disapprove of us. They're not meant to know we're together now (so high school!).
d. He's the big spender in the relationship, I'm the stingy, money controlling woman.
e. He quit smoking for me. My biggest achievement! =
f. We have co-habitted for a week without my parents knowledge and I loved it.
g. We have never been together for a movie together for more than 5 times.
h. He's the neat freak in the relationship, I'm the messy lazy one.
i. We both have a fetish for tattoos.
j. We both love Swenson's 'Sticky Chewy Chocolate' A LOT! =)
All the cliched, sappy love phrases like "I can't live without you in my life", or "You are my sunshine that brightens my day" and all that other stuff that I cannot bear to even mention for fear of feeling too grossed out myself, applies here.
Oh and I forgot to mention that the worst thing is that I'm all the way here and he's all the way there. Oh well c'est la vie. And to everyone else who's repulsed by my post, sod off but please come back for the next post.
It's a beautiful Sunday morning.
